Melika A.
Last position:
UX/UI Designer at Twoloox GmbH
- Sole UX designer on a full product redesign and the foundations of a design system for Widget Designer, a B2B professional desktop tool for real-time media control used in live events and installations, working with a product manager and two engineers.
- Grounded the redesign in user feedback, a product audit, and competitor analysis, which surfaced where the tool's depth had outgrown its usability, leaving expert operators to manage complexity in live moments where errors are immediate and irreversible.
- Restructured the workspace, navigation, and panels around the operator's real workflow, so they keep the full depth of control while gaining the clarity to act with confidence under live pressure.
- Extracted a design system from the redesign: semantic color roles, component states, spacing rules, and reusable dialog and form patterns, with foundational accessibility built into color contrast and state feedback, validated through prototypes against the legacy codebase and giving design and engineering a shared foundation to build from consistently and at speed.

About the role
What they do
UI/UX designers shape how a product feels and how easily people can use it. They turn business goals and user needs into clear flows, screens, and interactions that support conversion, adoption, and retention.
- Map user journeys and information architecture
- Create wireframes, clickable prototypes, and interface concepts
- Improve usability across web, mobile, and SaaS products
- Align visual design with brand and product goals
- Prepare handoff assets for developers and product teams
Core skills
A strong UI/UX Designer combines product thinking with visual craft. They know how to run or interpret user research, turn feedback into design decisions, and keep interfaces consistent across the product.
- User research, interviews, and usability testing
- Information architecture and interaction design
- Responsive UI design and component-based thinking
- Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar design tools
- Design systems, accessibility, and developer handoff
Common projects
Companies bring in freelance UI/UX designers for new product launches, redesigns, feature rollouts, and design system work. They are also useful when a team needs extra capacity for a busy roadmap or a second opinion on an interface that is underperforming.
In Germany, they often support B2B software teams, digital agencies, ecommerce brands, and internal tools where clarity and speed matter. Remote collaboration is common, but on-site workshops can help when product, engineering, and stakeholders need to align quickly.
What good looks like
Strong UI/UX design is not just clean screens. It is clear decisions, consistent patterns, and interfaces that help users finish tasks without friction.
- The product flow feels simple and predictable
- The interface reflects real user needs, not just taste
- Design files are structured and easy to hand over
- Accessibility and responsive behavior are considered early
- Feedback is turned into practical changes, not debate
Adjacent titles
Searches for this role often include UX designer, UI designer, and product designer. In practice, the scope can overlap, but the best freelance candidates should make clear whether they focus more on research and flows, visual interface design, or the full product design process.
For hiring teams, the key is to match the title to the actual need. A UX-heavy project may need stronger research and testing skills, while a UI-heavy brief may need polished component design and close work with the brand.
When to hire freelance
A freelance UI/UX Designer makes sense when you need speed, flexibility, or a specialist for a defined product problem. It is a good fit for short-term projects, peak workload, early product validation, and design work that has to move in step with engineering.
This is especially useful when internal teams are missing design capacity or need outside input before a launch. For freelancers, the best projects have clear goals, access to stakeholders, and room to improve the product based on real feedback.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to UI/UX Designers.
A UI/UX Designer turns user needs and product goals into clear screens, flows, and interactions. The work usually covers research, wireframes, prototypes, interface design, and support during handoff to development. Good designers also help decide what should be simplified, removed, or highlighted.
Look for strong product thinking, a clean design process, and solid visual judgment. The designer should be comfortable with Figma or similar tools, understand usability, and know how to build or work within a design system. If research matters for your project, check that they can test ideas and turn feedback into changes.
Not always, but the roles often overlap. A UX designer usually focuses more on user research, flows, and task structure, while a UI designer focuses more on layout, visual detail, and component consistency. Many freelance projects need a hybrid profile, which is why the title UI/UX Designer is so common.
A freelancer is a strong choice when the work is project-based, time-sensitive, or outside your current team’s capacity. It also helps when you need a specialist for a redesign, a design system, or a new product area. If the need is ongoing and broad, a permanent hire may make more sense.
Typical deliverables include user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and handoff-ready design files. Depending on the brief, they may also deliver usability findings, design system updates, or interface specs for developers. The exact output should always match the stage of the product.
Yes, remote work is common and often efficient for this role. Many teams in Germany work with freelancers through regular design reviews, shared files, and clear feedback loops. On-site workshops can still be useful at the start of a project or when several stakeholders need alignment.
Look for solved problems, not just attractive screens. A strong portfolio shows the design challenge, the reasoning behind decisions, and how the final work improved the user experience. For freelance work, also check whether the designer can explain handoff, iteration, and collaboration with product and engineering.
A product designer often covers a wider scope that can include strategy, research, UI, and delivery across the product lifecycle. A UI/UX Designer may focus more directly on user experience and interface work, though many freelancers cover both. The right choice depends on whether you need broad product ownership or a more focused design specialist.
The average hourly rate for UI/UX Designers in Germany is 86 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 690 € based on an 8-hour working day.
