App designer for Newcastle businesses.

I'm Rob. I'm an app designer based in Hobart, and I work with business owners across Australia remotely. Same timezone, no communication delays, and a process that's built to work well without needing to be in the same room.

Newcastle has always had a strong mix of industries, from its industrial roots to the growing wave of tech and service businesses that have been reshaping the city. A lot of business owners here are building something new, whether that's in health, trades, logistics, or something completely different. And a lot of them have been thinking about an app for a while without knowing where to start or who to trust with it.

That's where I come in. Apps with Rob is one experienced designer running your entire project from research to prototype. No agency, no revolving door of team members. Just one person who takes your idea seriously and delivers something you can actually use.

What you get

In five weeks, I take your idea from an initial conversation to a fully interactive prototype you can tap through on your phone. You'll be able to test it with real people, show it to potential investors, and hand it to a developer who will know exactly what to build.

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. It's the full package, ready for development.

Why not an agency?

When you're in Newcastle, your options for app design usually mean going to a Sydney agency or trying to find someone local who does this full time. Sydney agencies charge Sydney prices and treat you like a small fish. With me, you get a senior designer with fifteen years of experience who gives your project the same focus regardless of where you're based. Direct communication, no middlemen, and a fixed process that keeps everything on track.
