Quick answer: You can hire me as a remote product designer for one fixed sprint: 14 days, $1,999. You get every screen, including empty, loading and error states, a component library your developers build against, and a clickable prototype. No code ships. It is for teams that already have developers. If you don't know what v1 is yet, the 5-day discovery sprint ($700) comes first.
Who this is for, and who it is not
This page is for hiring a remote product designer for a defined piece of work. It is not a job listing.
It fits three kinds of teams:
- Engineers inventing the UI as they go. The code is moving and the interface is being decided along the way.
- Founders who need something convincing. A prototype real enough to put in front of investors or users.
- Agencies with developers but no design capacity. I can stay invisible to your client if you want.
It is the wrong buy in three cases:
- Design with nobody to build it. A Figma file is not a product. If you need it built, a build sprint fits better.
- Retrofitting a design system across a large existing product. That is a different job from designing a product in 14 days.
- Pixel-matching a competitor. I say so before you book rather than take the work.
If you are still sorting out what the work even is, UI vs UX design explains the difference, and the design brief generator helps you write the brief before a call.
What the 14 days look like
The product design sprint runs on a fixed schedule:
- Days 1 to 2: flows. How a user moves through the product, mapped before the screens.
- Days 3 to 8: screens. Designed against real content, core flow first.
- Days 9 to 11: states and system. Empty, loading, error and partial states, plus the component library.
- Days 12 to 14: prototype and handover. A clickable prototype, an organized file, and a handover call with whoever builds it.
The schedule is written down before you commit. If it slips, that is mine to absorb.
What you get for $1,999
- Every screen and every state, not only the happy path.
- A component library your developers build against.
- A clickable prototype real enough to test with users and show investors.
- Mobile and desktop where the product needs both.
- A handover call with whoever builds it.
- Decisions written beside the screens, so the reasoning travels with the design.
- The Figma file, yours and organized.
- Two rounds of revisions inside the fortnight.
It is quoted as one number before day one. Figma has its own developer handoff tooling, Dev Mode, if your developers work that way. For the wider service, see product design services, and for app-specific work, mobile app design.
What your developers get at handover
The sprint is built for the hand-off, because someone else writes the code. On days 12 to 14, your developers get four things:
- The component library they build against, so the same button, field and card are not redesigned on every screen.
- Every state already drawn. Empty, loading, error and partial states are designed, so nobody has to guess what a screen looks like before the data arrives.
- The decisions beside the screens. Why a flow works the way it does is written next to it, not left in a meeting.
- A handover call with whoever builds it, to walk through the organized file and answer questions before the build starts.
Working with a remote product designer
I am based in Dubai, and the contact page says I work with US, EU and GCC time zones. You book a 30-minute call or send a brief, and within 24 hours you get a scope, a timeline and a fixed quote. The work happens in Figma, and the file is yours at the end.
I spoke at GITEX Dubai 2023, and I hold Contra's Framer Expert badge. The work itself is in the case studies. For every other role you can hire me for, see hire me.
If you don't know what to build yet
Start with product discovery in 5 days, a fixed $700. It is two working sessions, and you leave with a written scope that includes the cut list (what v1 does not do), flows for three journeys, a build plan and a fixed quote. The $700 comes off the build if you book it within 30 days.
Discovery is scoping. It is not market research or user interviews. Research with users is a separate method, and the Nielsen Norman Group's UX research cheat sheet lays out the options.
Design only, or design and build
The product design sprint ships no code. The question is who writes it.
| Compare | Product design sprint | A build sprint |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | Your developers | The sprint does, design included |
| What you get | Screens, states, a component library and a clickable prototype | A working product |
| Price and time | $1,999, 14 days | Web app from $1,999 in 21 days. SaaS MVP from $2,500 in 30 days. Mobile app $2,500 in 30 days. |
If you need the product built too, the build sprints include the design:
- Web app in 21 days, from $1,999.
- SaaS MVP in 30 days, from $2,500, designed, built and deployed.
- Mobile app in 30 days, $2,500. See also hire an app developer.

Product designer questions
Can I hire you as a remote product designer?
Yes. I work remotely from Dubai with teams in US, EU and GCC time zones. The product design sprint is 14 days and a fixed $1,999. Book a 30-minute call or send a brief, and you get a scope, a timeline and a fixed quote within 24 hours.
What does a product designer deliver in 14 days?
Every screen, including empty, loading and error states, a component library your developers build against, and a clickable prototype real enough to test or show investors. The decisions are written beside the screens, the Figma file is yours, and two rounds of revisions are included.
Does the sprint include development?
No. It is design only and priced for teams that already have engineers. If you need the product built too, the build sprints include design, such as the web app sprint in 21 days from $1,999 or the SaaS MVP sprint in 30 days from $2,500.
What if I don't know what my product is yet?
Start with discovery: 5 days for a fixed $700. You get a written scope that says what v1 does and does not do, flows for the journeys that matter, a build plan and a fixed quote. The $700 comes off the build if you book within 30 days.
When is 14 days the wrong choice?
When nobody will build the design, when you need a design system retrofitted across a large existing product, or when the brief is to copy a competitor pixel for pixel. I say so before you book rather than take the work.
