Happy 8th birthday, UXDA! Every year our team reaches more and more exciting peaks and passes through different challenges. But, eight years ago, no one said it would be easy. Looking back, we are grateful to those clients, followers and community who believe in the same values as we do─that humanizing the finance industry is possible. And that's what we do every day.

Inspired the UXDA Team to New Achievements
Customer experience innovation has a unique place in our corporate culture. We are constantly looking for the best solutions so that our customers discover new, disruptive perspectives for their digital services. To open new business opportunities for clients, UXDA experts collect inspiration from the most interesting experiences across all industries
To inspire our team even more, we decided to celebrate UXDA's birthday the way movie stars do─with first-class service, gourmet food and fantastic emotions accompanied by live music. To do this, we created the party atmosphere embodied by Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Great Gatsby.”
Every year is a pleasant challenge for management, as we want to surprise our fantastic team with a special birthday experience and create a whole new feeling. And what can be better than a premium, loud, bold and beautiful 20' feel in Gatsby style? Because the best team deserves the best!
UXDA’s Breakthrough Award and Oscar-like ceremony
As part of UXDA’s birthdays tradition, we also arranged the UXDA Breakthrough Award 2022, a special award to recognize our people’s outstanding accomplishments in the name of UXDA.
This year, we divided it into categories, as world-renowned awards, such as the A'Design Award, Red Dot, UX Design Award and others do. So we created three levels─Gold, Silver, and Gratitude─divided among team members who deserved it according to their contributions and breakthroughs for the company.
And, on our birthday, we rewarded our heroes by creating an Oscar-like ceremony. UXDA's Breakthrough Gold Award 2022 was received by Arita, Inese, Tamara, Dmitry and Oksana! We are proud to have such a team and senior professionals who invest daily energy to humanize financial products and help our clients find solutions to elevate their market advantage.

At the end of the evening, the team was treated to a sweet surprise─a delicious birthday cake served to the accompaniment of the UXDA anthem, performed by the owner of the magical voice, Alice Kante. To hear the UXDA anthem, listen here.
Once again, we thank the team for their courage, development and contribution to achieving more for the UXDA mission and for every one of our clients. And thanks to our dear clients, followers and friends for the opportunity to be with you, serve you and help you achieve extraordinary results! We appreciate each of you and look forward to further sharing our experiences and humanizing the financial industry!
Thanks to everyone who helped to make the UXDA birthday event so special, magical and full of emotions. And, of course, a special gratitude to our Co-Founder, Linda Zaikovska-Daukste, for the whole idea behind it.
We are always proud of our team and its achievements, and we succeed in making this world a better place for people. Our belief is: why build boring things when we can transform people's everyday lives and bring humanity where others don't see it? We bring that value to digital financial services and our goal is to make them extraordinary!
