What does a UI/UX designer do?
A UI/UX designer decides how a digital product works and looks for the people who use it: they research user needs, map user flows, design wireframes and visual interfaces, and test them with real users. Good UI/UX design makes a product easier to use and easier for developers to build correctly.
DevKit UI/UX designers work in Figma, from user research and UX consultancy to interaction design, prototypes and design systems, and hand off designs your developers can implement. Every one of them is reviewed by our senior team before you see their CV and portfolio.
When to hire one
- Designing a new product or a major new feature
- Reviewing and improving the UX of an existing product
- Building a design system shared by designers and developers
- Validating ideas with prototypes and user testing before development

Matched to your budget: which level do you need?
We match the level to the work, so you don't pay senior rates for tasks a mid-level engineer handles well, or put critical work on the wrong hire.
Junior
Well-defined tasks with guidance
Bug fixes, tests and smaller features in an established codebase, with a senior on your team to review their work. The most budget-friendly option.
Mid-level
Independent feature work
Builds features end to end in an existing architecture with little supervision. The best value for most product teams.
Senior
Complex features and ownership
Owns complex parts of the system, makes sound technical decisions and mentors others. Worth it where mistakes are expensive.
Tech lead / Architect
Architecture and team leadership
Designs the system, sets standards and leads other engineers. Ideal for new products, rewrites or a team without technical leadership.

Hiring UI/UX designers: FAQ
How quickly can I hire a UI/UX designer through DevKit?
You usually receive vetted designer CVs and portfolios within 3–5 business days, and the designer typically starts within 2–3 weeks of the first call.
Which design tools and methods do your designers use?
Mainly Figma and FigJam for design, prototypes and design systems, with user interviews, usability testing and tools such as Maze, Hotjar and Miro for research and collaboration.
Do I need a senior UI/UX designer?
Not always. If your design system and product direction are set and someone senior reviews the work, a mid-level designer often delivers the same results for less. For a new product, a major redesign or UX research that shapes key decisions, a senior or lead designer is usually worth it. We'll recommend the right level on a free call.
How much does it cost to hire a UI/UX designer?
Staff augmentation is billed as a monthly rate per designer, depending on the level and scope. Tell us your budget and we'll match UI/UX designers to it; exact rates come with the first CVs.
