A product designer owns the "what and why" (research, scoping, flows) plus the interface; a UI/UX designer focuses on the interface itself. Early-stage or fuzzy scope → product designer. Clear spec → UI/UX designer costs less.

How it works
From brief to shipped work in three steps
1. Describe the work
Share the goal, constraints and timeline. We turn it into a structured brief — no technical writing required from you.
2. Meet your match
We match you with a hand-verified specialist whose stack and track record fit — not a stack of proposals to screen.
3. Confirm weekly, pay weekly
Progress is tracked in a shared workspace. Each week you review — and payment is processed only after you approve.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes — that is often week one: a scoping sprint that turns your idea into a prioritized feature map and clickable prototype, before any development money is spent.
Directly — same workspace, same weekly reviews. Handoff includes specs and a walkthrough call, so nothing gets lost between design and build.
