Melika Alborzi
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
Product design work
A UI/UX Designer shapes how a digital product feels and works. Companies bring in this role to turn rough ideas into clear journeys, screens and interactions. Typical work includes user flows, information architecture, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, clickable prototypes and handoff-ready specs for development.
- Map user journeys and remove friction
- Design interfaces for web, app and responsive products
- Build prototypes in Figma or similar tools
- Prepare clean handoff for developers
Strong skills
The best UI/UX Designers combine visual design with product thinking. They understand layout, hierarchy, accessibility, interaction patterns and how users behave in real tasks. They also know how to work with product managers, developers and researchers without losing focus on the end user.
- Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD
- Design systems and component libraries
- Usability testing and iterative design
- Mobile-first and responsive interface design
- Accessibility and clear microcopy
When to hire
Freelance support makes sense when a team needs extra design capacity, a fresh view on an existing product, or help before a release. It is also a strong fit for short product phases such as discovery, redesign, feature launches or a design system setup. In Hamburg, this is common for SaaS teams, e-commerce brands, media products and companies that work with both local and international users.
What good looks like
A strong UI/UX Designer does more than make screens look polished. They ask the right questions, challenge weak assumptions and connect business goals with real user needs. You should see clear structure, consistent components, thoughtful states, accessible choices and design decisions that are easy for developers to build.
- Clear rationale behind design choices
- Consistent patterns across screens
- Practical collaboration with product and engineering
- Designs that are ready to test and ship
Tools and deliverables
Most projects center on Figma, but a UX Designer may also use workshops, journey maps, user interviews and service blueprints. In some teams, the same person is called a product designer or UI designer, especially when the work spans both visual design and user experience strategy.
Common deliverables include:
- wireframes and concept directions
- interactive prototypes
- design system updates
- usability findings and improvements
- developer handoff notes
Working setup
Freelance UI/UX Designers usually join a team for focused collaboration rather than long internal onboarding. Remote work is common, but on-site sessions in Hamburg can help when a project needs stakeholder workshops, product discovery or quick alignment with design and engineering teams. Clear feedback loops and fast decisions matter more than long meetings.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about UI/UX Designers — answered in short.
A UI/UX Designer turns product goals into usable screens and flows. The work covers research input, wireframes, prototypes, visual design and support during handoff to development. The goal is a product that is easy to understand, consistent and practical to build.
Look for solid product thinking, clear visual design and good communication. A strong UI/UX Designer should handle Figma well, understand responsive layouts, and know how to design for usability and accessibility. They should also be able to explain why a solution works, not just present polished screens.
Not always, but the titles are often used interchangeably in smaller teams. A UI designer usually focuses more on visual layout, interface details and component consistency, while a UX designer leans more into flows, structure and user needs. Many freelancers cover both, which is why the combined title is common.
Freelance support is a good fit when you need design capacity quickly, have a limited project scope, or want outside perspective on an existing product. It also works well for redesigns, feature work, design systems and discovery phases. A freelancer can join a product team without the delay of a long hiring process.
Yes, most of the work can be done remotely. For teams in Hamburg, on-site sessions can still help with workshops, stakeholder alignment or early product discovery. The best setup depends on how much collaboration the project needs with product, engineering and management.
That depends on the phase, but common deliverables are wireframes, user flows, prototypes, screen designs and design system updates. A UX designer should also be able to provide clear handoff notes or testable concepts. Agree on the scope early so the work stays focused and usable.
Judge the work by clarity, consistency and how well it solves the actual problem. Good design should reduce friction, make key tasks easier and feel coherent across screens and states. A strong portfolio usually shows the thinking behind the outcome, not just attractive visuals.
The titles overlap a lot. A product designer often suggests a broader role that includes strategy, user experience and interface design, while UI/UX Designer is a more direct label for the design work itself. In practice, many freelancers move between these titles depending on the company and project.
The average hourly rate for UI/UX Designers in Hamburg is 93 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 740 € based on an 8-hour working day.
