Do you place non-AI designers (UX Research, Motion, Brand)?

Yes. AI-native designers are our lead, but classic UX Research, Motion, Brand, Marketing Web, and Illustration designers are on the same LATAM bench.

How do you screen for product judgment, not just craft?

Vetting includes Figma craft + handoff quality + AI-product judgment.

What does it cost to hire a LATAM designer through Aperturio?

Two ways to engage. LATAM direct full-time hires are $5,000 flat per hire. Fractional or contract engagements have no placement fee — you pay a transparent margin on the contractor's rate. No retainer either way.

AI-Native Design · Product · UX · LATAM

Ship AI-native product design without hiring drag.

Vetted LATAM product, UX, and brand designers who design for LLM-native products and prototype in real code — v0, Lovable, Bolt, Cursor — full-time or fractional, with no placement fees. Time-zone aligned with US teams.

AI-native roles · what we lead with

Prioritized for who you are and where you're going.

AI Product Designer

Designs for streaming UIs, tool calling, structured outputs, and agentic flows. Understands the UX of "the model is thinking" and the failure modes of generative interfaces.

Product Designer (UI/UX)

User flows, hi-fi UI, prototyping, UX writing. Moves features from spec → shipped with tight PM/Eng loops. Comfortable prototyping in code when it's faster than Figma.

Design Engineer

Designs and ships the same week. React + Tailwind native, Vercel AI SDK aware, builds production UI from a prompt.

Design Systems

Tokens, components, accessibility, docs. Treats the design system as a library shipped to engineering — versioned, tested, governed.

Brand / Visual Designer

Identity, visual language, marketing creative, motion. Uses generative tools as a multiplier without making everything look the same.

Marketing / Web Designer

Landing pages, ads, social, video. Fast iteration with v0 / Bolt / Framer for growth teams.

Also placing — classic, non-AI roles

Not every role needs an LLM. We still place the classic tracks on the same bench, same human review, same per-hire model.

UX ResearcherProblem mapping, interviews, usability tests, insight readouts.
Motion / Video DesignerLottie, After Effects, MP4 for onboarding, explainers, social.
Marketing / Web DesignerLanding pages, ads, social, Framer / Webflow.
Brand StrategistPositioning, naming, voice, identity systems.
IllustratorEditorial illustration, custom iconography, product spot work.
Print / Editorial DesignerPitch decks, reports, fundraising materials.

We vet

Beyond the resume.

Culture screening, AI-assisted skills assessment, expert human review. A real recruiter signs off before any candidate reaches you.

AI-product judgment

Understands streaming, tool calls, structured output, agent flows, and when LLM output should be hidden vs. surfaced.

Prompt-driven prototyping

Ships prototypes in v0 / Lovable / Bolt / Cursor when faster than Figma. Comfortable with code-as-design output.

Figma craft

Autolayout, variants, tokens, components, prototyping.

Handoff that closes the loop

Specs, annotations, edge cases. Pairs with engineering on real code, not over-the-wall mocks.

Accessibility & systems thinking

Contrast, focus, semantics. Libraries / governance / versioning at scale.

Async collaboration

PRD / issue hygiene, async updates, stakeholder comms — same time zone, native English.

Outcomes we drive

AI features that feel like product, not demos
Faster cycles when designers prototype in code, not just Figma
Higher conversion on landings, onboarding, and AI feature flows
Lower design debt with components / tokens that stick
Consistent brand across product, marketing, and AI surfaces
