Dedicated UI/UX design team.
Offshore product, UX and UI designers work in your sprint rhythm and stay with your product, as a dedicated UI/UX design team. They are employed and coached by Azendo and work from our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand. You own the product decisions. We make sure design keeps pace with what the engineers on your team build.
What you get and what you pay.
With staff augmentation you get a designer and the job of managing one, and offshore staffing works the same way. We take that job on. The designers we assign are employed by us, with an office, equipment, training and coaching from Azendo, and a service delivery manager checks in with you every two weeks.

The roles inside a UI/UX design team.
UX, UI and product designers and UX researchers each have a page below. When the work needs engineers or testers next to them, they join the same team.
The work a dedicated UI/UX design team takes on.
Companies that outsource UX design usually get a project: a redesign, a handover and a team that moves on. A dedicated design team stays. The designers we assign work in your Figma, join planning with the engineers on your team and keep every new feature consistent with the last, so the design system grows with the product. If you have tried an outsourced design team before, this is the version where the designers stay with Azendo for 3.3 years on average, and we manage them.
- Product designFlows and screens for new features, designed with your product owner and ready to build.
- Design systemsComponents, tokens and rules kept in one place, so the product stays consistent as it grows.
- Research and testingInterviews, usability tests and analytics turned into decisions the team can act on.
- Developer handoverSpecs, states and edge cases in Figma Dev Mode or Storybook, ready to build.
- Sprint participationDesigners in your planning, refinement and reviews, a sprint ahead of development.
- AccessibilityContrast, focus states and screen reader flows checked as part of the design work.

What a dedicated UI/UX design team is.
A dedicated UI/UX design team is a group of designers who work on one product, full time, inside its sprint rhythm. They research, map flows and design interfaces that the engineers build in the same sprint. You make the product decisions. Azendo employs the designers, coaches them and runs delivery with you.
Where it pays off most
It pays off when design has to keep pace with a team that ships every sprint: a product with a long backlog, frequent releases and a design system to keep consistent. The same designers stay with your users and your components, so research and decisions build on each other.

Questions about a dedicated UI/UX design team.
What does a dedicated UI/UX design team do?
It designs and improves one product full time: research, flows, interfaces and the design system behind them. With Azendo the designers are ours, managed from Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and they work in your tools and sprints under your product owner's priorities.
Can we outsource UX designers and keep design decisions in-house?
Yes, and that is how the model works. You keep the product vision and approve the designs. The designers we assign do the research, the flows and the detailed work, and a service delivery manager on our side checks in with you every two weeks on how the design work is landing.
How much does a dedicated design team cost?
UX, UI and product designers and UX researchers start from USD 2,200 per month at junior level, full time. The designer's fee also pays for delivery management, a Talent Success Manager, training, the office, equipment and software licences, and HR and payroll. See how the monthly fee is built.
Do the designers work in our Figma?
Yes. Design files, component libraries and prototypes live in your workspace, so the work belongs to you and the engineers on your team can follow it as it happens. If you use Sketch, Framer or another tool, the designers work there instead.
How do the designers work with our developers?
The designers join your planning and refinement, work a sprint ahead of development and hand over specs with states and edge cases. When an engineer has a question mid-sprint, the designer who made the screen answers it.
Do the designers run user research?
Yes, as part of the team's work: interviews, usability tests and analytics reviews, planned with you. The findings feed straight into the next designs, because the people who talk to your users are the ones who act on it.
Can a design team support a development team from Azendo?
Yes. Designers and a dedicated software development team can run under one agreement, in the same sprints and with the same service delivery manager. Design and delivery are then planned together, and a question about a screen is answered in the same stand-up.
Do the designers work remotely?
Yes, as a remote part of your product team. Each designer is employed by Azendo and works full time for you alone, in your Figma files, your research sessions and your sprint ceremonies. Most of the week is spent in our offices, with up to two days at home on a secure VPN.
Service areas that often join a UI/UX design team.
Each role joins under the same agreement, works in the same sprints and reports to the same service delivery manager. You add one when your product calls for it.
