UI/UX Design Agency For US Product Teams A Remote Dedicated Designer

It researches how your users work, designs the flows and screens, keeps the design system in order and checks that what engineering ships matches the design. Empiric Infotech does this through a remote dedicated designer who works only on your product, in your Figma and your tools, overlapping your Eastern morning, with a senior lead reviewing every design release.

It depends on whether you need a designer full time or for one defined piece of work. Empiric Infotech charges a flat monthly fee per dedicated designer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, or an hourly rate for a defined scope, invoiced in USD; current rates are in the pricing section above. Benefits, payroll tax and recruiting fees stay off your books because the engagement is a vendor contract.

Book a 30-minute call in your morning. Within 24 hours you get a written scope and an introduction to one designer, and you meet them before anything starts. Once the NDA and IP assignment are signed, your designer starts within 48 hours, and the first 7 days are a risk-free trial with a full refund if it is not a fit.

Yes. Every screen targets WCAG 2.2 AA from the first wireframe, which covers the WCAG 2.0 AA criteria in the Section 508 standards and the WCAG 2.1 AA level in the ADA Title II rule. Your designer writes per-screen accessibility notes for your engineers, and your team can reuse them in a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report. If a customer asks for a formal conformance audit, an independent auditor provides it, working from those notes.

Two hours of live overlap, 8:00 to 10:00 AM ET (1 hour November to March), with the project manager available until 1:30 PM ET. That window covers the standup and design reviews. The rest of your designer's day goes into the work, and a written update with links to the Figma changes is waiting when your team starts.

One invoice a month in USD, paid by ACH, wire or card. The W-8BEN-E is provided on day one for your accounts team, and because the engagement is a vendor contract, there is no payroll to run.

With signed consent before any recording. Every participant agrees in writing before a session is recorded, which covers California and the other all-party consent states. Recordings, notes and transcripts stay in your own accounts, quotes in the synthesis carry no names, and participant data is deleted on the schedule you set. Research with patients runs under your HIPAA policies and your BAA.

Yes. Week one goes on an audit of what exists: components, variables, naming, detached instances and the gap between Figma and production. You get a short written list of what to fix first, and the designer improves the system release by release instead of starting again.

Yes. EndoDNA, a HIPAA-compliant clinic platform with five user roles and branding for each clinic, Roamate, a travel companion app rated 4.6/5 in the app stores, and Velvet Passport, a creator and brand marketplace on iOS, all had UI/UX design in scope. EndoDNA and Roamate were each built by a single dedicated developer, and Velvet Passport by a two-developer team.

You own everything from day one: Figma files, tokens, prototypes and research. The NDA and IP assignment are signed before work starts, and the designer works in your Figma organization. You are billed monthly upfront, the first 7 days are a risk-free trial, and you can stop with seven days' notice.
