Why Trust PRXS? Built on Proven Experience.
Sven Uhlig is the founder of PRXS and a design leader with over 20 years of experience leading and mentoring teams at companies like Nedbank, 22Seven, and iKhokha. His strength lies in turning design complexity into clarity—through scalable systems, strategic hiring standards, and a focus on measurable business impact.
Clarity. Craft. Competence.
We help companies vet, mentor, and elevate product designers—so you get the value and impact you’re paying for.
Unlike traditional agencies, PRXS (pronounced ‘Praxis’) doesn’t place designers—we vet them, mentor them, and help teams mature with proven systems that deliver long-term design impact.
Vet designers with Confidence
Unlock data-driven decisions with comprehensive analytics, revealing key opportunities for strategic regional growth.
Elevate Team Maturity
We conduct targeted audits of product design teams to expose delivery gaps, design process friction, and collaboration issues—then provide structured mentoring to raise team maturity and delivery confidence.
Align Skills to Standards
Our proprietary evaluation system benchmarks designers against real-world skill requirements—helping you hire or promote based on verified capability, not inflated portfolios.
Build Design Credibility
With PRXS mentoring and scorecard tools, your design team builds the credibility it needs to lead. We help designers level up across systems thinking, stakeholder engagement, and product impact.
The PRXS Process
PRXS. has developed a proprietary, standards-aligned framework for evaluating and developing product designers which includes:
01
Role Clarity Model: Define what good looks like at every design level—from junior to senior. (Solves for: Role Ambiguity)
02
Skills Scorecard: Quantify core design skills with a clear, consistent framework.(Solves for: Skills imbalance)
03
Individual Growth Report: Get an easy-to-understand summary of each designer’s strengths and development areas.(Solves for: Performance Uncertainty)
04
Real-World Design Tests: See how designers perform on practical, role-specific tasks. (Solves for: Portfolio blindspots)
05
Fair Hiring Criteria: Use standardised evaluation to hire and grow with fairness and objectivity. (Solves for: Bias in Hiring)
“I’ve seen too many companies waste time and money on designers who weren’t properly vetted—or design teams that never matured. PRXS exists to fix that.”
