Your app. One designer. Five weeks.

One person. Start to finish.

Here's what usually happens. You go to an agency, you explain your idea to an account manager. They write it up, pass it to a strategist, who passes it to a designer. By the time your idea gets to the person actually designing your app, it's been through three rounds of telephone. The feeling's gone. The detail's gone. And when you give feedback, it goes back through the same chain in reverse. It's slow, it's frustrating, and you're paying for all of it.

That's not how I work. You talk to me. I do the research. I design the screens. I build the prototype. I write the developer notes. Same person, the whole way through. Nothing gets lost because there's no chain. You've got a question, you ask me. I've got an answer because I'm the one doing the work. Want to see what that looks like? Browse my design portfolio.

It's simple, and that's the point.

From your idea to something that feels like the real thing.

In five weeks, I take you from "I've been thinking about this app" to a fully interactive prototype you can open on your phone and actually use. Not a rough wireframe. Not a few pretty pictures in a slide deck. A proper, advanced prototype that looks and feels almost indistinguishable from a built app.

• Stakeholder interview and user research
• Lo-fi wireframes and user flows
• Live feature backlog — every idea tracked, prioritised, and parked for future versions
• Hi-fi screen designs, every screen, fully designed
• A fully clickable, advanced prototype
• Complete Figma design files
• Mini brand style guide, logo, and app icon
• Developer implementation notes

All onshore. Same timezone. No chasing.

Everything I do is in Australia. Every conversation, every design decision, every deliverable. You're not waiting until tomorrow morning to get a reply from someone on the other side of the world. You're not trying to explain Australian business culture to a designer who's never been here.

When you've got a question, you get an answer from the person doing the work. Same day. Same timezone. That's it.

Pick your app size. Get a fixed price.

Every tier includes research, design, prototype, brand, and developer notes. All of it.

Five weeks. Four phases. No mystery.

Design is only half the story.

This is the bit most people don't think about until it's too late. You build a great app and then nobody downloads it. I've seen it happen. It's gutting.

That's why I work closely with a specialist app marketing company. We know each other well, and they're good at what they do. They can prove it. They're not a generic digital agency. They only do apps. App Store optimisation, launch strategy, paid campaigns, video content, socials, the lot. And they're obsessed with data, so you actually see what's working.

They're involved from the start. While I'm doing the research and design, they're already thinking about how this thing gets found and downloaded. By the time your prototype's done and you're heading into development, they already know your app inside out.

One designer. A network you'd never find on your own.

I'm one person. That's the model. But fifteen years of independent work means I've built real relationships with some seriously good people.

The developers I work with have decades of experience. They're independent, like me. They stay on the cutting edge because they love what they do, not because someone told them to. They've built their own apps, they've set up their own systems, and they choose their projects carefully.

These aren't people I found on a website. They're people I've worked with, tested, and trust. When I connect a client with them, my name's on the line. And that's how I want it.

I don't just hand you files and disappear.

Once your prototype's done, you've got options.

Take everything. The designs, the Figma files, the prototype, the developer notes. Go to any developer you want. It's yours. No strings.

Or I can connect you with developers I trust. Senior, Australian, independent. They'll quote the build, and because the handoff from my end is tight, the build is faster and cheaper than it would be otherwise.

And for the build itself, I offer a 3 month Developer Support package. Fixed fee. Your dev team can come to me with any questions about the design. Why a screen works a certain way, what happens in an edge case, what the intent was behind a decision. It keeps the build on track and saves everyone time.

One relationship gets you from idea to app store. That's the whole point.

You've been thinking about this app for a while.

Most people who come to me aren't tech people. They're business owners, professionals, people who are really good at what they do. And they've spotted a problem that needs an app to solve it.

Some have been thinking about it for years. Some for a few months. Either way, they know their industry inside out, they know their customers, and they've just never found the right person to help them build the thing.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place. You don't need a technical background. You don't need a brief or a spec document. You just need the idea and the willingness to talk about it. I'll handle the rest.

What five weeks actually looks like.

Real projects. Real clients. Real results.

Wondering why a UI designer's website is all text? There's a good reason.
