Mobile App UX/UI Design for iOS and Android in the UAE
I design complete mobile app interfaces in Figma for startups and SMEs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Every project starts with user flows and an onboarding map, then moves into high-fidelity screens built on a proper Figma design system — components, variants and styles your developers can reuse instead of redrawing the same button forty times. I follow the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design 3 patterns side by side, so your app feels native on both an iPhone and a Samsung rather than like a web page squeezed into a phone.
For the UAE market I design Arabic and English versions together, including fully mirrored RTL layouts — navigation, icons, progress indicators and gesture directions all flip correctly, not just the text alignment. Free-zone and mainland businesses launching delivery, fintech, booking or e-commerce apps in AED-denominated markets get screens that already account for Arabic numerals, longer Arabic strings and local payment UI conventions.
You receive a clickable Figma prototype for stakeholder demos and user testing, plus a dev-ready handoff: design tokens for color, type and spacing, redlined specs, and exportable assets. Your Flutter, React Native or native team can start building the same day the design is approved.
What's included
- User flows and onboarding design — Mapped journeys from first open to first successful action, with onboarding screens that reduce drop-off.
- High-fidelity Figma screens — Pixel-complete UI built on reusable components and variants, organised in a clean Figma file.
- Clickable prototype — An interactive Figma prototype you can test on a real device and show to investors.
- iOS HIG + Material Design compliance — Platform-correct navigation, tab bars, sheets and gestures for both Apple and Android conventions.
- Arabic RTL mirrored layouts — Fully mirrored right-to-left versions of every screen, not just translated labels.
- Dev-ready handoff with tokens — Design tokens, specs and exported assets so developers implement without guesswork.
How it works
- 1Discovery and flows
We review your app idea, target users and competitors, then I map the user flows and screen inventory for sign-off.
- 2Wireframes to high fidelity
Low-fidelity wireframes lock the structure, then I build the polished UI in Figma with your brand applied.
- 3Prototype and review
You test the clickable prototype on your phone and we run up to two structured revision rounds.
- 4Handoff
I deliver the organised Figma file, design tokens and asset exports, and stay available for developer questions during build.
