Design That Makes People Stay & Pay
Pretty interfaces are easy. Interfaces that increase sign-ups by 30% and reduce support tickets by half — that takes real design thinking. Our UI/UX designers run user research, build design systems in Figma, prototype interactions, and test with real users. They are not decorators. They are product thinkers who happen to push pixels.
Why Hire Dedicated UI/UX Designers?
A freelancer can make a screen look good. A dedicated UI/UX designer understands your users, your business goals, and your technical constraints — then designs something that actually works for all three. They live inside your product team, not outside it. Here is why that matters:
- User research and usability testing that replaces opinions with evidence — designers who watch 10 real users struggle with your checkout flow will fix problems a stakeholder brainstorm never finds
- Design systems with reusable components and design tokens that keep your product visually consistent as your engineering team grows from 5 to 50
- WCAG AA accessibility built into every screen, not patched on later — this covers 15% of the population and protects you from ADA lawsuits
- Conversion-focused design that treats every page as a funnel step — our designers track metrics like task completion rate, not just aesthetic preference
What Our UI/UX Designers Deliver
From research to handoff, our designers handle the full product design lifecycle.
User Research & Testing
Moderated usability tests, surveys, heatmap analysis (Hotjar, FullStory), and user interview synthesis. Decisions backed by what users actually do, not what they say they do.
Wireframing & Information Architecture
Low-fidelity wireframes and site maps that nail the structure before anyone opens Figma. Card sorting, tree testing, and flow mapping to get navigation right the first time.
Visual Design & Brand Systems
High-fidelity UI design in Figma with component libraries, color systems, and typography scales. Design tokens that sync directly to your Tailwind or styled-components config.
Mobile-First & Responsive Design
Designs built for thumb zones and small screens first, then scaled up. We design for real devices — not just a 1440px artboard that nobody actually uses.
Prototyping & Interaction Design
Interactive Figma prototypes with micro-interactions, transitions, and real data. Stakeholders and developers see exactly how the product should feel before writing a line of code.
Design System Creation
Reusable component libraries with variants, auto-layout, and documentation. Storybook integration for developer handoff. Systems that scale from 10 screens to 200 without visual drift.
Industries We Design For
Good design is a business outcome, not an art project. These industries see the biggest ROI from dedicated design.
SaaS Product Design & Onboarding
SaaS products live or die by onboarding and daily-use UX. Our designers have reduced onboarding drop-off by 35-50% for B2B tools by redesigning first-run experiences, simplifying navigation, and adding contextual guidance. We focus on activation metrics, not just visual polish.
Consumer App UX & Engagement
Consumer apps need to feel good in the first 30 seconds or they get deleted. Our designers prototype and test 3-5 onboarding variations, optimize gesture-based interactions, and design notification strategies that re-engage without annoying. We have designed apps with 4.7+ App Store ratings.
E-Commerce Conversion Optimization
We redesign product pages, checkout flows, and category navigation based on real user session data. One client saw a 28% increase in add-to-cart rate after we simplified their product comparison layout. Our designers understand that every extra click is lost revenue.
Healthcare Portal & Patient Experience
Patient portals, provider dashboards, and telehealth interfaces need to be usable by 70-year-olds and WCAG AA compliant. Our designers work within HIPAA-aware workflows and design for low-literacy users, screen readers, and high-contrast modes without making the interface feel clinical.
Hiring UI/UX Designers With Us
We match designers to your product domain, not just your aesthetic. Here is the process.
Design Audit & Needs Assessment
We review your existing product (or concept), identify design debt, and understand your user base. You get a clear picture of what kind of designer you need — generalist, research-heavy, systems-focused, or visual-first.
Portfolio Review & Shortlisting
We present 2-4 designers whose portfolios match your product type. SaaS dashboard experience for B2B tools, consumer app work for mobile products. You see their actual shipped work, not just dribbble shots.
Design Challenge & Interview
Shortlisted designers complete a paid 4-hour design challenge using your actual product context. You evaluate their thinking process, not just the output. Then a culture-fit interview with your team.
Embedded Onboarding
Your designer joins standups, gets access to analytics and user feedback channels, and reviews existing design files. Week one produces a design audit document and proposed improvements roadmap.
Design Sprints & Iteration
Designers work in weekly design sprints aligned to your engineering sprints. Deliverables include user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, and developer-ready Figma specs with inspect mode enabled.

Hire UI/UX Designers Questions Answered
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
Figma is the primary tool for all our designers. They also use FigJam for workshops, Maze for unmoderated usability testing, Hotjar for heatmap analysis, and Principle or After Effects for complex animation specs. If your team uses Sketch or Adobe XD, we can accommodate that too, but we honestly recommend Figma for 95% of product teams.
