About this service

Summary

Mobile app design involves creating the UI/UX for mobile applications, focusing on user-centric design, intuitive navigation, and aesthetic appeal for both iOS, iPadOS and Android platforms.

Process

1. Discover I start by stepping into the users' shoes, aiming to truly grasp their needs, dreams, and challenges. Through methods like in-depth interviews and observing how they interact with products, I strive to understand their experiences. This approach helps me design solutions that genuinely resonate with them.
2. Define After gathering insights, I carefully analyze the information to pinpoint the main issues. By mapping out the user's journey, I identify key moments and obstacles they face. This clarity guides me in making design choices that are both meaningful and effective.
3. Develop In this phase, I collaborate with others to brainstorm a variety of creative solutions. By sketching ideas and creating detailed wireframes and storyboards, I explore different ways to address user challenges. Each idea is refined to ensure it not only solves the problem but also enhances the user's experience.
4. Deliver I bring the best ideas to life by creating detailed prototypes. These models allow me to test and refine important interactions and features. This hands-on approach ensures that the design is optimized early on, paving the way for a polished and seamless user experience.

FAQs

  • What is the difference between UI and UX design in mobile apps?

    - UI Design focuses on the visual elements of the app, such as colors, typography, buttons, and overall aesthetic. - UX Design focuses on the overall experience, ensuring the app is easy to use, intuitive, and efficient. It involves user flows, navigation, and interaction design.

  • Can I edit the Figma files after the design is complete?

    Yes, you can! I provide full access to the Figma files, allowing you to make edits, share feedback, and collaborate. However, I recommend discussing any major changes with me to ensure consistency and alignment with the design vision.

  • Can I see the design progress as it happens?

    Absolutely! Figma allows me to share live files with you, so you can monitor the progress and provide input at any stage of the design process.

  • How do you hand off the Figma design to developers?

    Once the design is finalized, I use Figma’s handoff features, where developers can inspect the designs, extract assets, and view specifications such as colors, spacing, and typography. Figma’s built-in code generation for CSS also helps streamline the development process.

  • How many iterations are included during the design process?

    Typically, I provide 2-3 rounds of revisions during the design phase to ensure the design meets your needs and expectations. After that, I continue making adjustments as needed during the development phase.

  • How much time is needed to complete the mobile app design process, from research to final Figma files?

    The entire process typically takes 60 to 100+ hours. According to the project requirements and complexity.
