UI/UX Design Agreement

A UI/UX design agreement is a creative services contract defining user experience research, interface design deliverables, and transfer of design files to a client or dev team. Use this when a product team hires a designer for app or web UX flows separate from front-end coding. It covers Figma files, design systems, and developer handoff specs.
