Apps

Apps designed for real users, not feature lists

Apps people actually keep on their home screen.

From investor-ready prototypes to production-grade design systems. Every screen, every state, every breakpoint, considered before a developer writes a line.

Native conventions

iOS HIG, Material on Android. Platform respect baked in, brand identity carried across.

Every state designed

Empty, error, loading, edge cases. The bits that get ignored until launch day are designed first.

Prototype to test

Clickable Figma prototypes for investor demos, user tests, and stakeholder reviews.

Build-ready handoff

Specs, tokens, assets, animations. Plus me on Slack during the build.

01
User research

Understanding your users, your business goals, and the competitive landscape before designing.
02
User flows

Mapping every path through the app, from first launch to power-user workflows.
03
Wireframes

Structure first, then interactive prototypes for usability testing and stakeholder review.
04
UI design

Every screen, empty state, error state, loading state, and edge case. The bits other people skip.
05
Design system

Component library that scales with your app as features grow. Tokens, documentation, examples.
06
Prototype

Clickable Figma prototype for user testing, investor demos, or board reviews. Behaves like a real app.
07
Developer handoff

Specifications, tokens, assets, animation notes, and ongoing support during build.

iOS and Android, done properly

Native conventions respected. Brand identity carried across. Apps that feel right on the platform they're on, instead of looking like they were ported from somewhere else.

Prototypes you can put in front of people

Clickable Figma prototypes that behave like a real app. Use them for usability tests, investor demos, or stakeholder reviews. The fastest way to validate before building anything.

Design systems that survive scope creep

Component-first design with proper tokens and documentation. So when feature 47 lands, the app still looks like the same app that launched.

Apps that move beyond the demo and earn their place in everyday use.

Portals & Dashboards

When complex data needs to be usable. Admin tools, SaaS dashboards, client portals. Design for power users, not first impressions.

Do you build apps or just design them?

I design apps. For development, I work with trusted partners or hand off to your development team with comprehensive specifications, prototypes, and design system documentation.

Do you design for iOS and Android?

Yes. I design for both platforms, respecting their respective design conventions (Human Interface Guidelines for iOS, Material Design for Android) while maintaining your brand consistency.

Can you create a prototype for investor demos?

Absolutely. Interactive Figma prototypes that look and feel like a real app, perfect for demonstrating your concept to investors without building anything yet.

How do you hand off to developers?

Organised Figma files with component libraries, design tokens, interaction specifications, responsive guidelines, and asset exports. I also stay available during development for questions and QA.

Do you do user testing?

Yes. Interactive prototypes tested with real users, with findings documented and fed back into the design. Testing can be moderated or unmoderated depending on your needs.
