Northell places senior UI/UX and product designers on fintech, healthtech, real estate, and SaaS teams — full-time embedded, part-time, or contract-to-hire, starting with a paid trial week. The bench behind this page has shipped 155+ product builds and holds a Clutch Top 20 ranking for Product Designers & Developers.
You get 2-3 matched profiles from our own bench after a short scoping call, not a stack of resumes to screen yourself. Exact turnaround depends on how specific the request is (a named specialization narrows the shortlist faster than a generalist request) — we'll confirm a real day-count once we've tracked it across enough requests to publish a reliable number rather than a guess.
Yes. Design files, prototypes, and any design-system documentation produced during the engagement belong to you, not to Northell or the individual designer. This is confirmed in the engagement agreement before work starts, so there's no ambiguity at offboarding.
Say so during the paid trial week and we requalify or replace the designer — you're not locked into a full engagement before you've actually worked together. Our full replacement-window policy is confirmed per contract; see the Replacement Policy section above for what that covers.
Yes, without restarting the vetting process. The designer has already been screened and matched once — moving from part-time or contract-to-hire into a full-time embedded role is a scope and rate conversation, not a new search.
Fintech, healthtech, real estate, and SaaS are where most of our 155+ shipped product builds sit, and where we can match the fastest, but the bench isn't limited to those four. If your product falls outside them, say so on the scoping call and we'll confirm whether we currently have a matching profile before making any promises.
Figma is the default across the bench, alongside FigJam or Miro for workshops and a testing tool (Maze or equivalent) for validation. If your team standardizes on a different toolchain, say so during scoping — most of our designers are tool-agnostic beyond Figma.
A marketplace hands you a search filter and a pile of unverified profiles; we hand you 2-3 designers we've already screened on a live exercise and, in most cases, worked with directly ourselves. You're hiring against a bench with a track record — 155+ shipped builds and named client engagements you can look up — not a directory listing.
