Hire UX Designers Who Solve Real User Problems
UX design is the discipline that determines whether users accomplish their goals or abandon your product. The UX designers who conduct user research that reveals actual behavior rather than stated preferences, who design information architectures that users navigate intuitively, and who run usability tests that identify problems before they reach production — those designers are the ones who ship products with strong retention and low support volume.
We match you with senior UX Designers who’ve shipped web applications, mobile apps, and enterprise software — designers who understand user research methodology, interaction design, and the iterative design process that turns user insights into product improvements.
Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based UX design talent.
What Our UX Designers Do
User Research
User interviews, contextual inquiry, survey design, usability testing, and the research methods that reveal how users actually behave — not how they say they behave. Research that produces actionable insights rather than interesting observations.
Information Architecture & Navigation Design
Site maps, navigation systems, content hierarchy, and the structural design work that makes complex products feel simple to navigate. IA design that scales as products grow without requiring complete restructuring.
Interaction Design & Prototyping
User flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and the interaction design work that defines how users move through a product. Prototypes that can be usability-tested before engineering investment.
Usability Testing & Iteration
Moderated and unmoderated usability testing, think-aloud sessions, task completion analysis, and the testing methodology that identifies design problems before they reach production. UX designers who close the loop — they test, identify problems, redesign, and test again.
UX Design Technology Stack
Research: UserTesting, Maze, Lookback — remote usability testing platforms
Design: Figma, Sketch — wireframing and interactive prototyping
Prototyping: Figma Interactive Prototypes, ProtoPie, Axure — high-fidelity interactive prototypes
Analytics: Hotjar, FullStory, Mixpanel — behavioral analytics for data-informed UX decisions
Client Success Story: Enterprise SaaS — UX Research That Reduced Onboarding Drop-Off 55%
A B2B SaaS company had a 72% onboarding drop-off rate — nearly 3 in 4 new users who started the onboarding flow didn’t complete it. The product team had assumed the problem was the number of steps. Our UX Designer conducted 8 user interviews and 5 moderated usability sessions that revealed the actual problem: users didn’t understand what the product did until step 6 of a 9-step onboarding flow — they were being asked to configure a product they didn’t yet understand the value of. The redesign moved the product’s core value demonstration to step 1 (a 60-second interactive demo), reduced configuration steps from 9 to 4, and added contextual help at the 2 steps where users most frequently abandoned. Onboarding completion rate: increased from 28% to 63% — a 55% reduction in drop-off.
Client Success Story: Mobile App — Navigation Redesign That Increased Feature Discovery 80%
A consumer mobile app had strong core feature engagement but poor secondary feature discovery — 85% of users used only 2 of the app’s 8 features. Card sorting research with 40 users revealed that the app’s navigation categories used internal product terminology that users didn’t recognize. The redesign replaced internal terminology with user-language category names, reorganized the navigation hierarchy based on actual usage patterns (most-used features accessible in 1 tap), and added contextual feature discovery prompts at natural moments in the user journey. Secondary feature engagement: increased 80% within 60 days of the navigation redesign.
Why Companies Choose Our UX Designers
- Research-driven design: They design from user evidence — not assumptions or personal preferences
- Usability testing discipline: They test designs before engineering investment — not after launch
- Interaction design craft: User flows and prototypes that communicate design intent clearly to engineering teams
- 50% cost savings: Senior UX design expertise at a fraction of US market rates
- Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks
Engagement Models
- Individual UX Designer — One senior designer for user research, interaction design, or usability testing.
- UX Teams (2–3 designers) — For full product UX coverage across multiple features or user segments.
- Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate research quality, design thinking, and team fit before committing long-term.
- Project-Based — Defined UX scope: user research study, navigation redesign, or onboarding flow.
How To Vet UX Designers
Our vetting identifies UX designers who solve real user problems — not just designers who produce polished wireframes.
- Portfolio review — Shipped product credits with research methodology and measurable outcomes. We look for evidence of user research, design iteration, and the connection between research insights and design decisions. Over 80% of applicants do not pass this stage.
- Research methodology assessment — Can they describe the research method they’d use for a specific design problem? Designers who default to surveys for every research question don’t understand research methodology.
- Design process evidence — Can they show the progression from research insight to design decision to usability test result? UX designers who can’t show their process may be skipping the research.
- Outcome evidence — What happened to the products they designed? Conversion rates, task completion rates, support ticket volume — we look for designers who can connect their design decisions to measurable user outcomes.
What to Look for When Hiring UX Designers
Strong UX designers solve user problems with evidence — they don’t design based on intuition or best practices alone.
What strong candidates demonstrate:
- Portfolio shows research methodology alongside design outputs — not just wireframes and prototypes
- They articulate the user problem each design decision solves, with research evidence
- They’ve conducted usability testing and can describe what they found and how they responded
- They reference behavioral data (analytics, heatmaps) alongside qualitative research
Red flags to watch for:
- Portfolio is entirely wireframes and prototypes with no research methodology
- They describe design decisions without referencing user research or data
- No usability testing experience — they design and ship without validation
- Inability to articulate the failure modes of their own design decisions
Interview questions that reveal real depth:
- “Walk me through a UX problem you solved. What research did you conduct, what did you learn, and how did your design decisions respond to the research findings?”
- “Describe a usability test that revealed your design wasn’t working as intended. What did you find and what did you change?”
- “How do you approach designing the information architecture for a new product? What research methods do you use and what decisions do you make first?”
