• • Run clickable prototype reviews with product, engineering, and real users

High-fidelity UI & interactions

• • Design pixel-accurate screens aligned to your brand, type scale, and color tokens
• • Specify motion and micro-interactions with Lottie, Protopie, or Figma smart animate
• • Cover every state: empty, loading, error, hover, focus, disabled, and success

Design system maintenance

• • Maintain Figma libraries with components, variants, tokens, and documentation
• • Sync tokens to code through Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, or direct Tailwind config
• • Run audits to flag off-system colors, fonts, and spacing across historical files

Usability testing & handoff

• • Script and run moderated and unmoderated usability tests in Maze and UserTesting

• • Annotate edge cases, copy, and accessibility notes directly on the designs

How does the designer align with our existing brand and design system?

Week one is calibration. We ask you to share your Figma libraries, brand guidelines, logo files, and any hand-off examples from past work so the designer can study the type ramp, color tokens, spacing rhythm, and component patterns before drawing a single screen. If your design system is inconsistent or partially undocumented the designer will build a visual audit of the gaps and propose a plan to fix them. Most clients see their first branded high-fi mock by the end of week two, fully aligned to the existing system rather than in a different voice.

How do you organize Figma files so our team can actually find things?

Every project gets a standard Figma structure: a Library file for components and tokens, a Design file per product area, an Archive file for old explorations, and a Handoff file marked with branch names or sprint tags. Pages are labeled by status (Exploration, In Review, Approved, Shipped) and cover pages show the latest thumbnail. Designers use Figma branching when your plan supports it so your main file stays clean. We document the structure on a cover page so any new engineer or PM can find the current state of any flow in under 30 seconds.

How do designers hand off to engineers who are in a different timezone?

Through Figma Dev Mode with full annotations, component variants, and links to the design tokens the engineer should pull from code. Every handoff includes a short Loom video walkthrough of the interactions, edge cases, and motion specs so the engineer can start building without a live meeting. For complex flows we pair designers and engineers on a 30-minute Zoom during overlap hours to answer questions up front. Zeplin remains available for teams that prefer it.

Can you run usability tests with real users remotely?

Yes. We run unmoderated tests in Maze for prototype validation and moderated sessions in UserTesting or Lookback when we need to watch people think aloud. Recruiting happens through UserInterviews or your own customer list when available. A typical usability sprint covers 5–8 participants, ships a summary with clips and severity ratings, and feeds directly into the next design iteration. For high-stakes flows like checkout or onboarding we recommend a round before every major redesign.

How much does it cost to hire an offshore UI/UX designer and how fast can they start?

A full-time dedicated offshore UI/UX designer starts at $2,200 per month with Remoteria for a mid-level product designer, rising to $3,800 for senior designers who can own design systems and research programs. US-based product designers cost $90,000–$130,000 per year fully loaded, so you typically save 65–75%. Onboarding runs 10–14 business days: we shortlist 3 vetted candidates with portfolios in your niche within a week, you review samples and run the final interview, and your designer ships their first flows by day 10.

How does timezone work between Miami and an offshore virtual assistant?

Your offshore hire overlaps your Miami workday from roughly 9am to 3pm ET, covering morning calls with New York, LATAM client check-ins, and most of your inbox. Evening tasks — scheduling, reporting, and LATAM client follow-ups — run async and are ready by the next morning.

Do you work with Miami fintech, real estate, and LATAM-focused businesses?

Yes. Most Miami clients are fintech and crypto firms in Brickell, real estate and development shops in Wynwood and Coral Gables, and LATAM-focused banking, trading, and logistics operators. We staff bilingual roles for client services, investor relations, and back-office support common across those businesses.

How fast can a Miami business start offshore hiring?

Miami moves at the pace of deals closing. Book a 15-minute intro, send us the role, and we shortlist 3 vetted candidates within 5 business days. Most Miami clients interview on day 6 and onboard by day 10, often with a bilingual shortlist ready for LATAM-facing work.

How does offshore hiring compare to Miami's local talent market?

Miami talent priced like a coastal city after the 2021 inflow and never reset. A bilingual client services associate in Brickell now closes at $75,000–$90,000 base, a real estate transaction coordinator in Coral Gables runs $70,000, and crypto KYC analysts cross $85,000. Offshore hiring delivers comparable bilingual client services, transaction coordination, and back-office support in 5 business days at roughly 30 percent of loaded Miami cost. The structural advantage is bilingual coverage: offshore hires across LATAM map directly onto Miami's cross-border workflows in a way that local English-only candidates simply cannot.

Do Miami businesses have any special requirements for offshore hires?

Florida has no state income tax, and Miami businesses do not withhold federal income tax, do not pay Florida reemployment tax, and do not file W-2s for offshore workers. The standard form is a W-8BEN at engagement (not a W-9, which is for US persons) governed by an independent contractor agreement. Miami businesses serving LATAM clients sometimes ask about FATCA reporting — that applies only to US financial accounts held by non-US persons, not to contractor payments. Most Miami clients route payments through us so they never deal with international wires or Florida Department of Revenue filings directly.
