App structure and navigation
Shape the information architecture and navigation model around the jobs people return to the app to complete.
Mobile app design agency
Mobile app design that survives the build.
A convincing app is more than a collection of polished screens. We design the decisions between them: navigation, feedback, permissions, errors, loading and the moments that make a mobile product feel dependable.

How we help
Design the whole experience—not only the screenshots
We make the app understandable in motion and complete in real conditions. That means resolving platform patterns, input behaviour, responsive layouts and every state developers need before release.
Designed and built as one
For this mobile product, the interface and native iOS implementation came from the same hands, keeping intent intact from flow to working app.
- Mobile UX
- Production UI
- Native iOS build
What we can take on
The work between the brief and the release.
The scope follows the product problem. We recommend the smallest combination of work that can resolve it properly.
Onboarding and activation
Explain value, permissions and setup at the right moment without turning the first session into a tutorial wall.
Mobile UX and interaction
Design touch targets, gestures, feedback and transitions that feel natural on the device.
Interface systems
Create reusable components and rules that keep new screens coherent as the app grows.
Prototype and validation
Test the high-risk journeys with realistic prototypes before committing engineering time.
Release-ready states
Cover loading, offline, empty, error, permission and account states rather than leaving them to guesswork.
A clear working rhythm
From uncertainty to something developers can build.
You review real work as it develops. Important decisions stay visible, and technical constraints enter while the design is still easy to change.
Audit the current experience
For an existing app, we identify friction, inconsistency and missing states. For a new app, we clarify the core job first.
Resolve the journeys
We map the main tasks and exceptions, then decide what belongs in each screen and interaction.
Prototype on the device
Important flows are reviewed at mobile scale so the team can judge rhythm, comprehension and effort.
Prepare the build
The final system includes components, responsive behaviour and states, followed by support during implementation.
A good fit when
There is real work waiting on design.
Artifakts works best with a clear decision-maker, access to the product team and an important release or product outcome to move forward.
- A new app needs a clear route from idea to release
- An existing app feels inconsistent or difficult to use
- The interface needs to support more features without becoming messy
- Developers need complete mobile states and behaviour
Questions, answered
Before we begin.
What is included in mobile app design?
A typical engagement can include product framing, information architecture, user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, usability review, visual UI, a component system and developer-ready specifications.
Can you redesign an existing mobile app?
Yes. We can audit the current experience, preserve what is working and redesign the journeys or interface areas creating the most friction. A phased release is often possible.
Do you design for both iOS and Android?
We can design mobile experiences that account for both platforms. Our in-house development capability is specifically native iOS, so any Android implementation scope is discussed separately and never implied.
Will our developers receive a design system?
When the product needs one, yes. We define reusable components, variants, states and visual rules at a level appropriate to the product and the development team.
