Hire Remote Product Designers

Hire Product Designers Who Own the Full Design Process

Product designers are the rarest design hire because they need genuine depth across the full design process: user research that reveals real behavior, interaction design that solves complex workflow problems, and UI design that makes the solution visually clear and aesthetically appropriate. The product designers who can take a vague product brief from a PM, conduct the research that clarifies the actual user problem, design and prototype a solution, test it with users, and deliver implementation-ready Figma files — those designers are the ones who ship products that grow.

We match you with senior Product Designers who’ve shipped web applications, mobile apps, and SaaS products — designers who own the full design process from research through implementation handoff.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based product design talent.

What Our Product Designers Do

End-to-End Product Design

From user research through shipped product: user interviews, problem definition, information architecture, interaction design, UI design, prototyping, usability testing, and implementation handoff. Product designers who own the full process rather than handing off between specialists.

Feature Design & Iteration

New feature design, existing feature improvement, and the iterative design process that responds to user feedback and product analytics. Product designers who can move quickly from problem identification to tested solution.

Design Strategy & Product Thinking

Product design strategy, design principles, and the product thinking that connects design decisions to business outcomes. Product designers who can participate in product strategy conversations — not just execute design briefs.

Design Systems Contribution

Component design, pattern documentation, and the design systems work that ensures new features are consistent with the existing product. Product designers who contribute to and maintain design systems rather than working around them.

Product Design Technology Stack

Research: UserTesting, Maze, Dovetail — user research and synthesis

Design: Figma — the primary tool for wireframing, UI design, and prototyping

Prototyping: Figma Interactive Prototypes, ProtoPie — interactive prototyping for usability testing

Analytics: Mixpanel, Amplitude, Hotjar — behavioral analytics for data-informed design decisions

Client Success Story: B2B SaaS — Product Designer Who Drove 3x Feature Adoption

A B2B SaaS company launched a new analytics feature that had 8% adoption after 60 days — far below the 35% target. The product team assumed the problem was discoverability. Our Product Designer conducted 6 user interviews that revealed the actual problem: users who found the feature couldn’t understand what it was showing them — the data visualization was technically correct but didn’t map to how users thought about their business metrics. The redesign replaced the technical metric names with user-language labels, added contextual explanations of what each metric meant for business decisions, and redesigned the visualization to show trends rather than point-in-time values. Feature adoption: increased from 8% to 31% within 45 days of the redesign launch.

Client Success Story: Consumer App — Product Design That Reduced Churn 28%

A consumer subscription app had 18% monthly churn — users were canceling within 30 days of subscribing. Exit survey data showed “didn’t understand how to use it” as the top cancellation reason (42%). Our Product Designer redesigned the first-30-days user experience: a progressive onboarding flow that introduced features in the order users needed them (not the order the product team thought was logical), contextual feature discovery prompts triggered by user behavior, and a “getting started” checklist that gave new users a clear path to their first value moment. 30-day churn: reduced from 18% to 13% — a 28% reduction. “Didn’t understand how to use it” cancellation reason: dropped from 42% to 11%.

How To Vet Product Designers

Our vetting identifies product designers who ship products that grow — not just designers who produce polished portfolios.

1. Portfolio review — Shipped product credits with research methodology, design process, and measurable outcomes. We look for evidence of the full design process — not just beautiful final screens. Over 80% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Product thinking assessment — Given a product problem, can they identify the right research questions, propose a research methodology, and articulate how they’d translate research findings into design decisions?
3. Design process evidence — Can they show the progression from research insight to design decision to usability test result to shipped product? Product designers who can’t show their process may be skipping steps.
4. Business outcome evidence — What happened to the products they designed? Adoption rates, retention, conversion — we look for designers who can connect their design decisions to business outcomes.

What to Look for When Hiring Product Designers

Strong product designers own the full process — they don’t just execute design briefs.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• Portfolio shows research methodology, design iteration, and measurable outcomes — not just final screens
• They articulate the business problem each design project solved, not just the user problem
• They’ve conducted usability testing and can describe what they found and how they responded
• They can participate in product strategy conversations — they have opinions about what to build, not just how to design it

Red flags to watch for:

• Portfolio is entirely UI design with no evidence of research or interaction design process
• They describe design decisions without referencing user research or business outcomes
• No usability testing experience — they design and ship without validation
• Inability to articulate how their design decisions affected business metrics

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through a product design project from research through shipped product. What was the business problem, what research did you conduct, what did you learn, and what was the measurable outcome?”
• “Describe a situation where your research revealed that the product team’s assumption about the user problem was wrong. How did you communicate this and what happened?”
• “How do you balance user needs with business constraints when they conflict? Give me a specific example.”
