0A UI/UX designer shapes both how a product looks and how it actually works for the people using it. UX, short for user experience, covers the research, structure, and flow behind a product, figuring out what users need and mapping how they'll move through it. UI, short for user interface, covers the visual layer on top of that, buttons, color, typography, and layout. Some designers specialize in one side, while others handle both across a single project.
Whether you're building a new product and need someone to shape how it works and looks, have an existing app or site that's confusing users, or want to learn UI/UX design yourself, Toskie TeamUp gives you a direct path to real collaborators instead of a cold job posting. Browse actual profiles and case studies, filter for the kind of collaboration you need, whether that's TeamUp for a full design project or Mentor for learning the craft, and start the conversation yourself. If you're the one with UI/UX design expertise rather than the one looking for it, you can set up a collaborator profile and start hearing directly from people who need it.
Toskie makes it easier to find and connect with skilled professionals for exactly what you need.
Discover — Search for UI/UX Designer collaborators based on the skill or requirement you have in mind.
Filter — Narrow things down using details like skills, experience, and location.
Review — Look through a collaborator's profile to get a real sense of their background and what they've actually done.
Connect — Reach out to the people who seem like a genuine fit for your requirement.
Collaborate — Talk through the project, define what you actually need, and start working together once it feels like the right match.
Whether you're looking for a UI/UX Designer nearby or someone with a very specific kind of expertise, Toskie helps take the guesswork out of finding them and starting the conversation.
A UI/UX designer collaborator on Toskie TeamUp researches, structures, and visually builds a product so it's both usable and clear to look at.
Figuring out what users actually need and how they move through a product, using research, interviews, or testing rather than assumptions about how it should work.
Building low-fidelity structures and interactive prototypes to test flow and layout before any visual polish gets applied, so structural problems get caught early.
Designing the actual look of the product, including layout, typography, and color, so the interface feels coherent and matches your brand.
Testing designs with real or representative users and refining based on where people actually get confused, rather than shipping a first draft as final.
Toskie gives you a real look at a collaborator's past projects and background before you reach out, and starting a conversation about your project doesn't cost anything. Since UX and UI are genuinely different skills even when one person offers both, ask specifically which side of the work they're strongest in rather than assuming the two come as a single package.
Clarity on UX versus UI strength — some designers lean heavily toward research and structure, others toward visual polish, so ask which is their stronger side for your project's needs.
Portfolio depth — look for past work with a scope similar to yours, whether that's a full product build or a focused visual refresh.
Process visibility — ask to see wireframes or research artifacts, not just final polished screens, since that shows how they actually arrive at a design.
Relevant industry experience — design decisions for an e-commerce checkout look very different from those for an internal business tool, so ask about direct experience with your product type.
It depends on your project. A UX designer alone often fits early-stage prototyping, while a UI designer alone can suit a rebrand on top of an existing structure. A full product build or overhaul usually benefits from both, whether that's two specialists or one person handling both sides.
UX design is the more analytical side, focused on research, structure, and how a product actually works for users. UI design is the more visual side, focused on how it looks, including layout, color, and typography. Strong UI on top of weak UX still leaves users confused, no matter how polished it looks.
One designer can often handle both, especially for smaller projects or teams. For larger, ongoing product work, some businesses split the two into separate specialists so each side gets deeper focus.
Toskie doesn't set or process rates. Pricing and terms are agreed directly between you and the collaborator you connect with, based on the scope you define.
