Why hire UI/UX designers from us
A UI that looks good in Figma and a UI that survives real users are different things. Most design work ships as static mockups that a frontend team reinterprets — spacing drifts, edge cases get invented on the fly, and the 'design system' becomes three components everyone copies and quietly diverges from. Our designers work the other way: research first, then interface, then a build-ready component library engineering can implement without guessing.
They cover the full surface: user research and flows, wireframes and prototypes, visual design and a documented design system, and handoff specs precise enough that a developer doesn't need to ping them for every spacing value. Paired with our engineering teams, design and build move in the same sprint instead of a queue.
Engage them your way: a dedicated designer embedded in your product team, a part-time capacity for steady feature design, or a project-based engagement for a full redesign or a new design system. In every model, source files, tokens and documentation are yours from day one.

What they bring to your team
User research & flows
Interviews, journey maps and flow diagrams that ground design decisions in real behaviour, not opinion.
Wireframing & prototyping
Low- to high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, tested before a single pixel is finalised.
Design systems
Reusable component libraries with documented tokens — spacing, colour, type — that engineering can implement directly.
Visual & brand design
Interfaces that carry your brand consistently across web, mobile and marketing surfaces.
Handoff & specs
Dev-ready specs, redlines and Storybook-ready component docs that cut back-and-forth to near zero.
Accessibility
WCAG-aware contrast, focus states and touch targets built in, not retrofitted after an audit.
Tools & stack
Ways to engage
Every model includes: NDA & IP assignment before day one, your repositories, code review culture and a one-week scale-or-pause notice period.
Full-time dedicated
One designer, 160 hrs/month, embedded in your product team and sprint process.
Part-time capacity
80 hrs/month for steady feature design and design-system upkeep.
Project-based
A defined redesign or new design system with fixed scope and milestones.
Replace-anytime guarantee
If the engineer isn't the right fit, tell us — we replace them within a week at no extra cost, with a documented handover so context isn't lost. The guarantee is written into the agreement, not a verbal promise.
How hiring works
Four steps from enquiry to a working engineer — typically inside a week.
Discovery call
Your product, users and current design maturity — 30 minutes with a design lead.
Meet the designer
Shortlisted candidates with a live portfolio you can pressure-test.
Paid trial screen
A real screen or flow redesigned on your product before any long-term commitment.
Ship & iterate
Weekly reviews, a growing design system, and a scale-or-pause option anytime.
Common questions
Do we own the Figma files and design system?
Yes — all source files, components and documentation transfer to your workspace from day one, under NDA and IP assignment signed before work starts.
Can they work directly with our engineers?
Yes — that's the default. Designers hand off through documented specs and pair with engineering during implementation to keep design and build in sync.
Do you do user research, or just visual design?
Both. Research and flows come first so visual design solves a validated problem, not a guess — though we can scope visual-only work if research is already done.
What if the designer isn't the right fit?
Tell us — we replace them within a week at no extra cost, with a documented handover so the project's context and files stay intact.
