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
A UX Designer shapes how people use a digital product. The work starts with user needs and business goals, then turns into flows, wireframes, prototypes, and clear interaction patterns. The goal is simple: make the product easier to understand, easier to use, and easier to finish.
- User research and interviews
- Journey maps and task flows
- Wireframes and clickable prototypes
- Usability testing and iteration
- Design handoff with clear specs
Skills and methods
Strong UX Designers combine product thinking with hands-on design craft. They should be comfortable with Figma, FigJam, Miro, and common testing tools, and know how to work with product managers, developers, and sometimes content teams. Many projects also call for UX/UI design, interaction design, or service design skills.
- Clear information architecture
- Strong problem framing
- Fast prototyping and testing
- Accessibility awareness
- Solid feedback handling
When to hire one
Companies bring in freelance UX Designers when a product needs a fresh look at conversion, onboarding, checkout, search, or account flows. They are also useful during redesigns, feature launches, SaaS scale-up work, or when an internal team needs extra capacity. In Hamburg, this often fits digital product teams in commerce, logistics, media, and B2B software that need focused support without a long hiring process.
What good looks like
A strong UX Designer does more than make screens look neat. They explain trade-offs, simplify complex journeys, and align stakeholders around one clear solution. Good work is visible in the product itself: fewer dead ends, better task completion, cleaner handoff to developers, and design decisions that are easy to defend.
- Research that leads to action
- Designs built for real user tasks
- Communication that keeps teams aligned
- Practical decisions, not decorative ones
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with UX Designers? These answers cover the essentials.
A UX Designer works on the user journey from first problem framing to tested interface concepts. That usually includes research, flow mapping, wireframes, prototypes, and usability feedback. In many projects, the role also covers parts of UX/UI design when the product team needs one person to connect structure and interaction.
Look for someone who can translate user needs into simple product flows. Good answers mention user research, information architecture, prototyping in Figma, and clear collaboration with developers and product managers. For complex products, experience with accessibility and testing is also important.
A UX Designer focuses on how the product works and how the journey feels from the user's side. A UI Designer focuses more on the visual layer, layout, and interface polish. In practice, many freelance profiles combine both, but the scope should be clear before the project starts.
A freelancer is a strong choice when you need focused design help for a defined product problem, a redesign, or a short-term backlog push. It is also useful when the internal team is missing UX experience and needs outside perspective quickly. If you need long-term ownership across many products, a permanent hire may fit better.
Yes. Many projects are handled remotely, with workshops, reviews, and handoff sessions over video. If the work needs close stakeholder alignment, in-person sessions in Hamburg can help at the start, especially for discovery, testing, or sprint planning.
Typical deliverables include research notes, user flows, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and design recommendations. Some projects also end with a design system contribution or a clear handoff for development. The exact output should depend on the stage of the product and the problem to solve.
Look for clarity, not just visual polish. A strong UX Designer can explain why a flow changed, show how user feedback shaped the result, and keep the solution practical for developers. If the work is good, the product becomes easier to use and the team spends less time debating basic structure.
Expect close work with product owners, developers, and sometimes brand or content teams. You should be ready to ask sharp questions, document decisions, and adapt to the product context fast. In Hamburg-based companies, English is often enough for product work, but German can be helpful in workshops and stakeholder meetings.
