Get a full-time, senior UX designer from Latin America, embedded in your team at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in. Working your hours, month-to-month, nothing owed until you hire.
TRUSTED BY MARKETING AGENCIES ACROSS THE U.S.
The difference between a product people love and one they abandon usually comes down to experience, and that is what a UX designer owns. They turn messy problems into clear, usable flows that convert and retain. Hiring one full-time in the US is expensive and strong talent is scarce; a senior UX designer from Latin America, embedded in your team, gives you that craft at a fraction of the cost, working your hours.
A senior UX designer owns the experience end to end: user research and interviews, information architecture, user flows, wireframes and interactive prototypes in Figma, usability testing, and the design system that keeps everything consistent. They partner with product and engineering so what gets designed actually ships, and they pair naturally with visual and web design, the companion role is on our hire a web designer page.
UX work is deeply iterative, research, design, test, refine, and those loops close fastest when your designer shares your hours. A nearshore UX designer from Latin America works US hours, joins your standups, and moves in real time rather than overnight, which is why nearshore beats offshore for product work, as we cover in nearshore vs offshore staffing. You get a senior designer, five-plus years deep, screened for 8+/10 English, at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in, which is 60 to 70% under the fully loaded US cost of the same role.

Tell us your product, your stack, and the problems you need solved. We source and vet from our Latin American network, screening for five-plus years of relevant experience and 8+/10 English fluency, and hand you a shortlist in about 10 business days, portfolios included. You interview and choose. We handle employment, compliance, contracts, and cross-border payments, so you manage the designer like any team member. It is month-to-month, nothing is owed until you hire, and every placement includes a full 30/60/90 onboarding arc and free replacements at any time. It is the same embedded model behind outsourced marketing and marketing staff augmentation.
Hire one when your product feels clunky and users drop off; when conversion or retention is suffering and you suspect the experience; when you are building something new and need it right from the start; or when engineering is designing screens because no one owns UX. If your product's experience drives your business, a dedicated UX designer pays for itself, and the nearshore model makes that hire affordable.
