Being communicative

Communication matters. You can't sit anything out  and just do your own work. Small talk near the teapot or an important call with a client — designers should communicate well to reach success in the work.

Researching

To know their audience better, designers should carry out deep research in different areas and think 'behind' and 'above' design. Without this process, projects they work on might not meet the market standards and look raw or low-quality.

Users understanding

UX design supposes a clear understanding of users behavior. How do they want to tap on a button or go through a screen? UI design is about making the interface attractive, but it’s up to UX to think through handy navigation that will help users find what they are looking for fast.

UX writing

Another important  part of UX design is words. How users interact with an interface depends not only on the design, but on the texts as well. To make a solid relationship with users, designers should be good at writing. Or able to find a UX writer. :)

Business thinking

Business processes in your company are important to boss and business analytics, but designers should also get to the point. Making commercial design is impossible without delving into business goals.

Design thinking 

To make an interface, you have to think like an interface. Well, we are kidding. But special 'design thinking' is a skill designers should have. It means a creative, not analytic approach to solving a problem.  

High-quality wireframing

Nobody wants to get a bad design, so don't remember about professional qualities. A wireframe is a blueprint for each screen of an interface. Find a designer who makes the best one for you.

Conclusion

Check the skills of your designers! If they are communicative, curious, and good at wireframing, studying design patterns and thinking about potential users, they are cool guys. If they don't, try to look for  better ones, for example at UI/UX agencies.
