App designer in Melbourne.

I'm Rob. I'm based in Hobart but I'm in Melbourne regularly, and I've worked with enough Melbourne businesses to know the market well. If you want to sit down and talk through your idea face to face, we can make that happen. If you'd rather jump on a call and work remotely, that works just as well.

Melbourne has one of the strongest startup ecosystems in Australia. It also has a lot of agencies competing for your attention, and most of them operate the same way. You talk to a salesperson, your project gets assigned to a junior designer you've never met, and the cost blows out before you've seen a single screen. I've heard that story from Melbourne business owners more times than I can count.

Apps with Rob is a different approach. You deal with one senior designer for the entire project. I do the research, the wireframes, the screen designs, and the prototype myself. No handoffs, no rotating team members. Just one person who's accountable for the whole thing.

What you get

In five weeks, I take your idea from a conversation to a fully interactive prototype you can tap through on your phone. You'll be able to show it to investors, test it with real users, and hand it to a developer with complete confidence.

The full package 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. Everything your development team needs to start building without guesswork.

Why not a Melbourne agency?

Melbourne is full of agencies, and a lot of them do good work. But for most business owners and early stage founders, hiring an agency means paying for layers of people you don't need. Project managers, account executives, creative directors. With me, your money goes directly into the work. You get a senior designer with fifteen years of experience, not a team of juniors managed by someone you spoke to once.
