Absolutely! I've hired freelance UX designers for several projects over the past few years, and it can definitely be challenging to find the right fit. One resource that made a huge difference for me was this guide on working with
freelance UX designers . It doesn’t just list names—it walks you through the entire process, from defining your project needs and evaluating portfolios to assessing collaboration styles and communication skills. What I found most helpful were the tips on what to look for in a UX portfolio beyond just pretty mockups—things like problem-solving approach, user research methods, and measurable outcomes. The guide also covers practical aspects like contract templates, negotiation strategies, and how to set clear milestones to keep projects on track.
