UI Designers specialise in the visual interface — typography, colour, layout, iconography, motion, and component design. The role often pairs with UX Designers (who own research and flows) or sits inside a design-systems team. UI Designer roles are common in mature design teams, marketing-heavy products, or B2C apps with strong visual brand.
