Do you design Android and iOS differently?

Where platform convention matters, yes — navigation patterns, back behaviour, typography and system components. The brand and content layer stays identical so the product still feels like one app.

How many screens are included?

An MVP typically covers 15–25 unique screens with all their states (empty, loading, error, success). Larger products are scoped per module with a clear per-screen cost.

Can you design without research time?

We can accelerate with heuristic review and competitor analysis, but even a single day of user interviews materially improves the output. We will tell you honestly what a compressed timeline costs you in quality.

Mobile App UI/UX Design That People Actually Finish Using

Research, flows and interfaces designed for thumbs, interruptions and real-world conditions.

Mobile users are distracted, interrupted and impatient. A flow that takes four screens on desktop may need two on mobile; a form that works on a laptop may be unusable one-handed on a bus. Mobile design is a different discipline and we treat it as one.

We design from the flow outward: map the job the user is trying to complete, remove every unnecessary step, then design screens that work with one thumb, in poor light, on a cracked screen, with intermittent connectivity.

Deliverables include a component library that developers can build from, plus prototypes tested with real users before development begins — where fixing a problem costs a Figma edit rather than a sprint.

Onboarding completion improvement

The problems we fix

Desktop design squeezed into a phone
Dense tables, small tap targets and multi-column layouts produce an app that feels like a shrunken website.
Onboarding that users abandon
Long sign-up flows before any value is delivered lose most new users in the first session.
No accessibility consideration
Low contrast, unlabelled icons and text-only colour cues exclude users and fail store review criteria.

How we fix them

Flow-first design
Map the core job to be done, then design the shortest path to completing it.
Value-first onboarding
Let users experience the product before asking for an account; defer registration with progressive profiling.
WCAG-compliant mobile patterns
44px minimum targets, contrast ratios, screen-reader labels and non-colour status indicators.
