Product Designer assigned to your roadmap.
A Product Designer covers research, flow and interface in one role. Sensible where a separate UX and UI split would create more handovers than it saves.
Assigned under one service agreement with a minimum monthly capacity in hours, run by a service delivery manager in Chiang Mai, Thailand — five hours ahead of Northern Europe.
This role is delivered as part of our UX/UI design services. Take the role on its own, or the whole discipline as one delivery team.
What a Product Designer does on an outsourced design team.
Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.
Product Designer skills and technology we assign for
-
Taking a roadmap item from problem statement to built interface without an internal handover.
-
Balancing user need against engineering cost, in the room where that trade is being made.
-
Maintaining the design system as the product grows rather than after it has drifted.
-
Prototyping interactions in Figma so behaviour is agreed before engineering estimates it.
-
Sitting in refinement sessions so design constraints and engineering cost meet before commitments are made.
Seniority levels we assign.
Mid to senior. This role makes trade-off decisions, which needs judgement rather than tooling skill. Seniority is one of the inputs behind the committed monthly capacity written into your agreement.
When a Product Designer is the right assignment.
The most common design assignment, and the one that fits an ongoing roadmap best. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a UX Designer or a UI Designer. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. This capacity is assigned under outsource UX design rather than sold as a separate engagement.
Questions about assigning a Product Designer.
How is this different from a UX and a UI designer?
One person covers research, flow and interface. Fewer handovers, which suits an ongoing roadmap. Two specialists suit larger design teams.
Can a product designer work alongside our own designers?
Yes, and it is common. We agree ownership boundaries at scoping so two designers are not redesigning the same screen.
Add product designer capacity to your roadmap.
Tell us the scope and the stack. We come back with the profile, the capacity and what the first month looks like, or you can talk to a service delivery manager first.
