The role

What a UX/UI Designer does.

A UX/UI Designer shapes how your product works and how it looks. They research users, map flows, prototype and test ideas, and deliver clean designs and components that engineers can build quickly. Teams usually bring one in when users get lost in the product, conversion is low, or engineers build screens without designs.

Typical responsibilities

Research users and their problems through interviews and tests.
Map user flows and information architecture.
Create wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs.
Build and maintain a design system.
Run usability tests and improve designs based on results.
Hand off designs to engineers with clear specs.
Make every screen accessible and consistent with the brand.

UX/UI Designer or Front-End Developer?

A UX/UI designer decides what to build and how it should look and work; a front-end developer turns those designs into code. If you have designs but nobody to build them, start with front-end. If engineers build screens without designs, start with UX/UI.

Can we hire a UX/UI Designer directly instead?

Yes. With Direct Hire you employ the person yourself. The fee starts at 12.5% of annual salary and includes a 180-day replacement guarantee.
