App designer for Geelong businesses.

I'm Rob. I'm an Australian app designer based in Hobart, and I work with business owners remotely across the country. We're in the same timezone, communication is easy, and the work gets done the same way it would if I were down the road.

Geelong has its own thing going on. It's close enough to Melbourne to tap into that ecosystem, but the businesses here have a different feel. More grounded, more practical. A lot of Geelong business owners I've spoken to have had the same experience: they look into getting an app designed, they get quoted Melbourne agency prices, and the whole thing stalls. It doesn't need to be that way.

With Apps with Rob, you get a senior designer with fifteen years of experience working directly on your project. No agency overhead, no inflated pricing, no juniors learning on your budget. Just one person doing the work properly, at a price that reflects the actual value of what you're getting.

What you get

Over five weeks, I take your app idea from a conversation to a fully interactive prototype you can open on your phone. Everything in between is handled by one person. Research, strategy, wireframes, screen designs, branding, and a complete handoff package for your developer.

That includes a stakeholder interview and research report, user personas, user flows, lo-fi wireframes, hi-fi screen designs, a mini brand style guide, a logo, an advanced interactive prototype, developer implementation notes, and complete Figma files. Your development team gets everything they need to start building.

Why not an agency?

Most Geelong business owners end up looking at Melbourne agencies by default, and the quotes come back higher than expected. That's because you're paying for office space, account managers, and layers of staff who never touch your project. With me, every dollar goes into the actual design work. You get senior experience, direct communication, and a process that's built for business owners, not enterprise clients.
