Geza Lakatos
Last position:
UX Strategist & AI App Developer (AI-assisted App Strategy) at Own Projects (Nutrycoach.ai, LuxuryBandit)
Conceptualizing and developing AI-powered app MVPs from the first idea to a working product. I combine UX strategy with modern AI and no-code tools — especially Claude and Claude Code, where I work directly in the terminal on real code (React, Vite), complemented by Figma, Bolt.new, and Base44 — to quickly validate and build product ideas. Personal platforms: Nutrycoach.ai (AI nutrition coaching with role-based dashboards for clients, coaches, and admins, AI meal analysis, and a scalable design system) and LuxuryBandit (content/creator app). This led to my own practice 'AI-assisted App Strategy', which combines human creativity, UX logic, and intelligent automation.

About the role
What they do
UX consultants improve how people use a product, service, or platform. They look at user needs, business goals, and product constraints, then turn that into clear recommendations that teams can act on.
- Audit interfaces, flows, and content for friction
- Plan and run user interviews, tests, and workshops
- Map journeys, information architecture, and key tasks
- Define wireframes, interaction patterns, and priorities
- Align product, design, and engineering on UX decisions
Core skills
Strong UX consultants combine research, analysis, and facilitation. They know when to question assumptions, when to simplify, and how to turn findings into practical changes for product teams.
- Research planning and interview moderation
- Usability testing and heuristic evaluation
- Journey mapping and service blueprinting
- Wireframing and prototype review
- Stakeholder communication and workshop facilitation
Tools and methods
The toolset depends on the assignment, but most UX consultants work with Figma, FigJam, Miro, and common testing or analytics tools. They should also understand how to work with product teams that use Jira, Confluence, or similar systems.
Typical methods include task analysis, card sorting, concept testing, and competitor reviews. In Germany, they often support teams building complex digital products for industry, finance, healthcare, or internal enterprise software.
When to bring one in
Companies hire a freelance UX consultant when a product feels hard to use, a redesign needs direction, or a team lacks senior UX guidance. It also makes sense when a launch is near and the team needs fast decisions without adding permanent headcount.
This is common for product reshapes, platform migrations, design system work, and new feature planning. A freelance UX consultant can step into a short, focused scope and leave the team with clearer priorities and better screens.
What good looks like
A strong consultant does more than comment on visuals. They connect user pain points to business impact and explain trade-offs in plain language.
- Base recommendations on observed user behavior
- Keep the focus on outcomes, not personal taste
- Work well with product managers, designers, and developers
- Produce clear deliverables that teams can use immediately
- Adapt to remote setup or on-site workshops when needed
Freelance engagement
Freelance UX work often starts with an audit, a research sprint, or support for a redesign. Some clients need a single specialist to guide a team; others need help on a temporary gap while hiring is still open.
In Germany, remote collaboration is common, but on-site sessions can help when the project depends on workshops, stakeholder alignment, or access to local teams. Clear communication in English is often enough, while German helps in workshops with local users or internal groups.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about UX Consultants.
A UX consultant reviews how a product works for real users and where the experience breaks down. The work can include research, usability testing, journey mapping, wireframes, and recommendations for redesign. The goal is to make product decisions clearer and reduce friction in key flows.
A freelance UX consultant is the better choice when you need focused expertise for a specific problem, a redesign, or a short discovery phase. It also helps when the team needs senior UX input quickly but the long-term headcount decision is still open. Permanent hiring makes more sense when you need ongoing ownership of a product area.
Look for someone who can combine user research, product thinking, and clear communication. A strong UX consultant can run interviews, test assumptions, simplify complex flows, and explain trade-offs to product and engineering teams. Good facilitation matters just as much as design judgment.
A UX consultant is usually brought in for analysis, direction, and problem-solving across a specific scope. A UX designer or product designer often spends more time creating the actual interface and iterating inside the product team. In practice, the titles overlap, so the real test is the work they have done.
Common deliverables include research findings, usability issue lists, journey maps, wireframes, workshop outputs, and prioritized design recommendations. A good UX consultant leaves behind artifacts that the team can use directly in planning and implementation. The exact mix depends on the product stage and the problem you want solved.
Yes, most UX consultants can work remotely without losing quality, especially for audits, interviews, and design reviews. On-site sessions are useful when the work depends on workshops, stakeholder alignment, or live user sessions. For teams in Germany, English is often enough for project work, but German can help in local research and internal meetings.
Judge the person by the clarity of their thinking, the strength of their questions, and the usefulness of their recommendations. A good UX consultant shows evidence, explains trade-offs, and avoids generic advice. Ask for examples of similar product problems, the methods used, and what changed after the work was done.
In Germany, UX consultants are often brought into B2B software, industrial tools, finance, healthcare, and complex internal systems. They also help with redesigns, design systems, and product discovery for teams that need structured UX input. The best fit is usually a project with many users, many steps, or many stakeholders.
The average hourly rate for UX Consultants in Germany is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 776 € based on an 8-hour working day.
