App designer for Gold Coast businesses.

I'm Rob. I'm a product designer based in Hobart, and I work with business owners across Australia remotely. We're in a close timezone, the communication is simple, and the work doesn't suffer one bit for the distance.

The Gold Coast is full of business owners with app ideas. Tourism, hospitality, fitness, wellness, real estate, lifestyle brands. There's no shortage of industries where a well designed app could change the game. The challenge most people run into is finding someone they trust to actually do it properly. Someone who won't overcomplicate things, won't charge agency rates for junior work, and won't disappear halfway through the project.

That's what Apps with Rob is built for. I'm one senior designer who handles your entire project personally. From the first conversation about your idea through to a fully interactive prototype you can hold in your hand and show to anyone. No team, no layers, no mystery about who's doing the work.

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. It looks and feels like a real app. You can test it with customers, show it to business partners, or hand it straight to a developer and say "build this."

The deliverables include 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. Everything your developer needs to start building without guessing.

Why not an agency?

The Gold Coast has plenty of digital agencies, and a lot of them are focused on websites and marketing rather than app design. When you do find one that handles apps, you're usually quoted for a team of people, most of whom you'll never speak to. With me, your investment goes directly into senior design work. One person, direct access, and a process that's been refined to deliver real results in five weeks.
