Why hire UI UX designers from an agency?
Companies hire UI UX designers from an agency to add senior design capacity in weeks instead of months, without the cost and risk of a permanent hire. The designers work as part of your team while the agency handles hiring, training and cover.
Recruiting one senior product designer takes 2 to 4 months and a recruiter fee. An agency team is ready in 1 to 2 weeks, brings research, UX and UI skills together, and keeps working when one person takes leave. It suits product teams with a growing roadmap, a launch date or a redesign that needs more hands than the current team has. For a fixed-scope project instead of ongoing capacity, see our product design agency work.

Which roles can you hire from our UI UX design team?

UX researcher
Runs interviews, usability tests and surveys, and turns findings into design priorities.
UI designer

Design lead

Should you hire a UI designer or a UX designer?
Hire a UX designer when users struggle to finish tasks, and hire a UI designer when the product works but looks dated or inconsistent. Many teams need both, which is why we staff them as one UI UX team.
| Criterion | Hire a UX designer | Hire a UI designer |
|---|---|---|
| Main problem | Users get lost, drop off or need support to finish tasks | Screens look dated, inconsistent or off-brand |
| Core work | Research, user flows, wireframes and usability tests | Visual design, components, icons and motion |
| Main output | Tested flows and prototypes | Final screens and a design system |
| Typical first month | Interviews, flow fixes, one tested prototype | Style audit, new components, redesigned key screens |
| Hire both when | A redesign changes how the product works and how it looks | A new product needs flows and a visual language from scratch |
