UI/UX Design From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP gives Australian SaaS, B2B, and consumer-product teams a remote dedicated product designer who works inside your Figma and your design system, hands off to your developers, and stays on the work month after month. Not an Australian design agency that hands you a pretty Figma and disappears. Not a Dribbble freelancer who ships visuals nobody can build. Not an Australian in-house hire who takes three months to land and a notice period to leave. Two ways to engage, billed in AUD: book hours at AUD $25/hr for a defined scope, or lock a month at the standard AUD $3,000 for 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive design work on Australian afternoon overlap. The designer works in your Figma org, your design system, your repo, and your tooling (Linear, Jira, Notion, Slack). We deliver UX research and discovery, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interactive prototypes, a Figma design system, design tokens exported to code, design QA on the shipped product, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility (Australian Privacy Principles aware on user-research data) baked in. A senior team lead reviews every release. No Fair Work obligations, superannuation, or payroll tax, because the designer is not your employee.
What a UI/UX design engagement delivers for Australian teams
Not a pretty Figma you cannot build. A design that ships in your Australian product, week after week, with the design system, the dev-handoff discipline, and the accessibility work that turns a pretty mockup into a real product.
A product designer in your Figma, on Australian overlap
The designer joins your Figma org, your Slack, your Linear or Jira, and your design system, on Australian afternoon overlap. Daily standups, weekly demos, work in branches your team can review.
UX research and discovery
User interviews, journey maps, competitive teardowns on the Australian market, usability testing on the current product, and a research synthesis your PM can act on - not a hundred-slide deck.
Wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and prototypes
Wireframes for fast iteration, high-fidelity UI on your design system, interactive Figma prototypes for stakeholder and user review, a tight feedback loop with your PM and engineers.
A design system your Australian developers can ship
Component library in Figma with variants, properties, and constraints. Design tokens exported to code (CSS variables, Tailwind, Style Dictionary). Documentation that lives next to the components.
Dev handoff, not a Figma file thrown over the wall
The designer pairs with your engineers during the build, reviews the implementation in staging, opens design-QA tickets, and updates Figma when reality forces a change.
WCAG 2.2 AA, Privacy Act-aware on research data
WCAG 2.2 AA from the first wireframe - colour contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation, screen reader, touch targets, motion preferences. Australian Privacy Principles aware on user-research data handling.
A designer who is still there next month
Your product evolves, your design system grows. A dedicated engagement means the same designer ships the next flow, owns the design system, and keeps cohesion across releases - without a Fair Work process to manage.
How we scope a UI/UX design engagement for an Australian team
No multi-week sales cycle and no twenty-page statement of work. A call, a written scope, a trial, then hourly or monthly - your call. All on Australian afternoon overlap.
A scoping call
Thirty to forty-five minutes on Australian afternoon overlap. You tell us the product, the surface that needs work first, your existing design system, your tooling, and what would count as a measurable outcome. No charge, no obligation.
A written scope and team proposal
We send back the design scope, the research plan, the deliverables, the design-system work, the dev-handoff plan, the accessibility target, who we would put on it, and the price both ways - in AUD.
A 7-day risk-free trial (on the monthly plan)
The designer gets into your Figma and your tooling and ships the first slice inside the first week, reviewed and tested by the senior lead. Not a fit by day 7, full refund.
Hourly or monthly, your choice
Hourly: billed by the hour at AUD $25, time tracked to the minute, a weekly time report and a demo, stop any time. Monthly: 160-172 hours at the standard AUD $3,000, monthly billing in AUD, cancel with 7 days notice. No Fair Work process either way.
A dedicated product designer for AUD $3,000 per month
One dedicated product designer is AUD $3,000 per month for 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive design work on Australian afternoon overlap, in your Figma and your tooling, with a senior lead reviewing every release. Hourly is AUD $25 - best for a defined scope. Either way: design tokens exported to code, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility baked in, dev handoff that holds. Need build hands as well? Add a developer at the same flat AUD $3,000 per month each. Billed monthly, 7-day risk-free trial, no setup fee, no recruitment fee. No Fair Work obligations, superannuation, or payroll tax, because the designer is not your employee.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
What the first 90 days look like for an Australian team
Whether you are booking hours or on the monthly plan, the shape is the same, all on Australian afternoon overlap. Here is a typical first three months.
- Week 1
Onboarding and the first design slice
Figma org, Slack, Linear or Jira access, the existing design system reviewed, the first surface scoped, and a first slice live - shipped and reviewed. Day 7 is the risk-free decision point on the monthly plan.
- Month 1
Design shipped to Australian users, build pairing started
The priority flow redesigned, high-fidelity UI in Figma, tokens exported, an interactive prototype, dev handoff with your engineers, the first design-QA pass on the implementation in staging.
- Month 2
Design system, the second flow, accessibility pass
Design system gaps filled, the second priority flow redesigned, a WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility pass on the shipped work, a usability test on the live redesign, the design-QA cadence in place.
- Month 3 and on
Brand cohesion, design ops, Privacy Act pass on user research, ahead of the roadmap
A brand-cohesion pass across surfaces, design-system docs tightened, the next flow scoped from research, an Australian Privacy Principles pass on user-research data handling, the next batch of work scoped.
A dedicated product designer - hourly or monthly - vs a fixed-price Australian design agency, a Dribbble freelancer, or hiring in-house in Australia
| Empiric Infotech (dedicated designer - hourly or monthly) | Fixed-price Australian design agency | Dribbble or Upwork freelancer | Hire an in-house designer in Australia | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you actually get | A product designer in your Figma and your tooling, working with your devs, owned by you, with the same person on the design month after month | A pretty Figma at the end of the engagement, then a maintenance retainer or you are on your own | Visuals to a brief; design-system thinking and dev handoff are on you | Whatever your team can ship; ramp time + notice period |
| Pricing model | AUD $25/hr for hourly work, or the standard AUD $3,000/mo for a full-time designer if you lock a month - your choice | AUD $12K-$100K fixed bid per design engagement; change orders billed extra | AUD $30-$180/hr; quality varies wildly | AUD $110K-$160K salary + super + payroll tax - and rarely a full-time job on its own |
| Estimate before you commit | An estimate both ways - hours per surface or what a month covers - plus a weekly time report and a demo | A fixed bid - you wear the overage as change orders | An hourly quote, often optimistic | Internal estimates, if any |
| Where the design lives | In your Figma org, with dev handoff in your repo and your tooling | Per the agency's process | Wherever the freelancer prefers | In your Figma |
| Design system and dev handoff | Tokens exported to code (CSS / Tailwind / Style Dictionary), pairing with engineers, design-QA on staging | Per the spec; a new system or handoff round is a change order | Rarely included | Built over time, if there is time |
| WCAG 2.2 AA, Privacy Act-aware on research | Targeted from the first wireframe; APP-aware on user-research data handling | Per the spec; usually a remediation pass at the end | Often skipped unless you ask explicitly | Standard for the role, if the role has time |
| Quality control | A senior lead reviews every release before it goes live - built in, no extra charge | Per agency - often the same people who built it | On you to review and verify | Your own review process, if you have one |
| Employment overhead, and time to start | None - the designer is not your employee; no Fair Work, super, or payroll tax; 48 hours to start | None; 2-6 weeks (proposal, SOW, kickoff) | None; days (post a job, review, interview) | Fair Work, super, payroll tax, leave; 2-4 months in a thin product-design talent market |
Figures are typical Australian market ranges, not quotes. A fixed-price agency design engagement commonly lands in the AUD $12K-$100K range before change orders.

Why Australian teams hire a dedicated product designer, not a fixed-price agency
Sydney and Melbourne product-designer salaries run AUD $110K to $160K base before super and on-costs, the same shortage Australian product teams already feel on senior engineers, and the seat sits idle between sprints either way. A fully loaded in-house product designer is roughly AUD $12,000 to $16,500 a month once you add superannuation, payroll tax, and on-costs. A fixed-price Australian design agency typically runs AUD $12,000 to $100,000 per engagement before the first change order. Empiric Infotech is billed two ways - AUD $25 an hour for a defined scope, or the standard AUD $3,000 a month per designer - in AUD, with the same person on your product next month.
Most design engagements fail in the same places: a beautiful Figma your developers cannot build; a design system that nobody updates because the agency left; tokens that live in Figma but never make it into code; an accessibility pass tacked on at the end; a freelancer who ships visuals but cannot scope the next thing; a full-time hire who takes a quarter to land. A dedicated Empiric designer has shipped product UI for Australian SaaS, agencies, and product teams - and works inside your tooling, not theirs.
We have shipped web and mobile products since 2020. The depth shows up in the parts a quickstart skips: a design system the engineers actually consume, tokens exported to code, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built into the wireframes, dev handoff that holds when the implementation differs, design QA on staging, Australian Privacy Principles-aware handling of user-research data, and the honesty to say when a research sprint beats a redesign.
