I’ve been working as a remote designer for over seven years. But a lot of designers started their remote journey in 2020 only. A lot of my creative friends have been working for 6–8 months as remote designers.

They experience everything that I went throw my seven years only now. I’ll share the main differences between onsite and remote work for UX/UI designers and explain why remote work is more productive than onsite.

Remote Tools

The first thing that you will notice is the tools that you are going to work with. You used to work with user testers face-to-face, communicate with your design team on the real board, and other onsite things.

Now, with switching to the home office, the major problem is how to save all this activity that was before. Luckily, there are plenty of tools that help you to make your switch easily. Remote work has more value today.

It’s possible to make a 100% switch to remote work without sacrificing. You can still conduct user testing with usertesting.com, collaborate with other designers using Figma, and communicate remotely via Slack or Zoom.
