Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a UI/UX Designer cost in Latin America?+

Do your UI/UX Designers use Figma?+
Yes. Figma is the primary tool for nearly all of our UI/UX candidates. They are proficient in auto layout, components, variants, prototyping, and design system management. We also have designers experienced in Adobe XD and Sketch if needed.
Can they handle both UI and UX?+
Absolutely. We vet for end-to-end product design skills — from user research and wireframing through to high-fidelity UI and interaction design. If you need a specialist in one area, we can match accordingly.
How quickly can I hire a UI/UX Designer through Nexus?+
Our average time-to-hire for UI/UX Designers is 18 days. We present pre-vetted candidates with portfolios within 7-14 days, and most clients make a decision after reviewing 2-3 portfolios.
What timezone do your UI/UX Designers work in?+
All our LATAM designers work in US-aligned time zones (EST, CST, PST overlap). This ensures real-time collaboration during design sprints, critiques, and stakeholder meetings.
What if the designer's work doesn't match our vision?+
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee at no additional cost. If the design fit isn't right, we source a new candidate immediately. No candidate found means nothing paid.
