Hire a dedicated UI/UX designer for ongoing work

When you hire a dedicated designer, you get someone who learns your product and priorities instead of starting from scratch with every new brief. Your dedicated designer is reserved for your roadmap – new features, UX improvements, landing pages and campaign assets – week after week, not project by project.

We help define the designer profile, time allocation, tools, and communication setup before the engagement starts. The designer can join your sprints, planning, and review routines, while F5 Studio supports sourcing, quality review, continuity, and replacement planning if needs change.

Why the dedicated designer model works

A dedicated designer focuses on your product every week, so design stays consistent, on-brand and ready for development.

Feels like in-house, not freelance

Your designer joins standups, planning and reviews, learns your domain and stakeholders, and builds context over time instead of restarting with every new brief.

Flexible hours and clear scope

Start part-time or full-time, adjust the load as your roadmap changes, and keep responsibilities and channels clearly defined so nobody wonders what the designer should tackle next.

Agency backup and risk coverage

If your dedicated designer gets sick, moves on or you suddenly need extra capacity, our agency team steps in with backup, replacement options and code-ready support instead of leaving you stuck.

Vetted design profiles

We match the role to the work: UX flows, UI systems, product screens, website layouts, or marketing assets. Portfolios, tools, availability, and collaboration fit are reviewed before a designer is proposed.

Cleaner handoffs to developers

Designers prepare developer-ready layouts, asset exports and clear annotations, reducing back-and-forth, unplanned scope creep and rework that often appears when files are rushed or incomplete.

Transparent collaboration and reporting

You always know what your dedicated designer is working on thanks to shared boards, documented priorities and regular check-ins aligned with your product and marketing planning cadence.

Design partners for long-term work

F5 Studio has been planning, designing, and building websites and digital interfaces since 2013. Our team includes UX/UI designers, developers, project managers, and QA specialists, so design decisions can be checked against real implementation constraints instead of treated as isolated visuals.

For dedicated designer engagements, this matters because the designer is not left alone as a freelancer. The work can be reviewed inside a broader web team, with support for UX logic, UI consistency, design handoff, and collaboration with developers when the project needs it.

Trusted by teams across 20+ industries

Public reviews on Clutch and Google, together with the founder’s verified Upwork profile, give clients external reference points when evaluating F5 Studio’s project history, communication, and reliability.

How we match and onboard your designer

01.

Product discovery

We start with a structured call to understand your product, roadmap, brand, current design workload and internal processes. Together we map which tasks the dedicated designer will own across product, marketing and design systems, how they should collaborate with product owners, marketers and engineers, and which tools and time zones are non-negotiable for smooth daily work.

02.

Profile & model

Based on the discovery, we define the designer profile: seniority, domain background, core skills across web, UI/UX or marketing design, language level and availability. We also agree on engagement format, such as part-time or full-time allocation, expected hours per week, communication channels and reporting, so everyone is clear on responsibilities from day one.

03.

Shortlist & hire

Our team sources and pre-screens designers with portfolios and case studies relevant to your product and industry. You receive a shortlist with strengths, sample work and rate expectations, then join interviews or short test tasks if needed. You stay in control of the final decision while we handle the heavy lifting of vetting and negotiation.

04.

Onboarding & setup

Once you choose a dedicated designer, we onboard them into your stack: product documentation, existing design systems, analytics and collaboration tools. We help them set up workflows with your developers and product owners, define how tickets are created and approved, and agree on sprint rituals so their work slots naturally into your roadmap.

05.

Ongoing support

During the engagement we stay close to both sides. We monitor workload, quality and communication, join regular check-ins when needed, and step in with mentoring or additional specialists for tricky UX or interaction tasks. If your needs change, we can scale hours up or down or replace the designer without losing context or documentation.

Who needs a dedicated designer

A dedicated designer makes sense when design requests are continuous but not enough to justify building a full internal design department. One person can learn your product, brand rules, and UX patterns, while F5 Studio stays available for review, backup, and role adjustments.

Dedicated designer vs in-house hire

An in-house hire gives maximum ownership, but recruitment, management, and replacement sit fully with your team. A dedicated designer gives you continuity and predictable availability without turning every design task into a separate agency project. The right choice depends on workload, budget, and how much design leadership you already have internally.

FAQ

Dedicated UI/UX designer FAQs

What can a dedicated designer actually work on day to day?

Your dedicated designer can cover agreed UI/UX and visual design tasks such as product screens, user flows, landing pages, website updates, dashboards, marketing visuals, and design system maintenance. During discovery, we define what belongs to the designer, what stays with your internal team, and when another specialist is needed.

How is a dedicated designer different from freelancers or agencies?

A dedicated designer works with you continuously instead of jumping between many unrelated projects. They learn your product, stakeholders and edge cases, which makes every new iteration faster and more consistent. Unlike a traditional agency, you always know who is designing your work; unlike a solo freelancer, they are backed by our studio for support, quality reviews and coverage when capacity or availability becomes an issue.

How many hours per week do we get and can this change later?

We usually start by agreeing on a weekly allocation, such as part-time or full-time, based on your backlog and roadmap. That translates into a predictable number of design hours reserved for your team. As your needs change, we can scale up or down within reasonable notice, or temporarily add another specialist from our team for spikes like major launches or redesigns.

How do onboarding and daily communication with the designer work?

During onboarding we set up all channels that make collaboration easy: your preferred project management tool, Slack or similar chat, design tools like Figma, and access to documentation and analytics. We agree on meeting cadence, for example joining your standups and planning sessions, so design work is visible and aligned with the rest of the team even if we are in a different time zone.

What happens if the dedicated designer is not a good fit for us?

If after a reasonable trial period you feel the dedicated designer is not the right fit, we treat that as a process to fix, not your problem to absorb. We gather feedback, adjust expectations where possible and, if needed, propose a replacement designer from our pool. Because we stay involved in documentation and context, the handover to a new person is structured rather than starting from zero.

Is there a minimum commitment period for hiring a dedicated designer?

We recommend committing for at least a few months so the designer can learn your product and deliver meaningful improvements, but we do not lock you into unrealistic long-term contracts. The exact notice period and engagement rules are agreed at the start, so you have clarity on how to pause, scale or switch the collaboration if your roadmap or budget changes.
