Apps, custom applications, and software are some of the fastest growing opportunities for B2B and B2C companies in Asia-Pacific. Apps and custom software solutions help companies reach wider audiences, create new revenue streams, optimize operations and scale growth. Since each of these objectives directly increases profitability, they’re always a high priority for decision makers.
Even before Covid, companies in Asia-Pacific witnessed massive increases in their need for custom software development, and since software application projects often have a user interface, this demand also drove a demand increase for User Experience and User Interface design talent. But finding good designers, and integrating them into your team effectively is challenging – Unless your company is able to provide the type of creative environment and professional guidance your designers need to thrive and flourish, they’ll deliver sub-par outputs, feel frustrated at work, and are likely to churn out of your company and cause failed recruitment losses.

UX / UI Services by Phase
Our team is available to support you with all, or just some, of the following stages of creating a development-ready user interface:
UX Research - Users, personas, and motivations
More often than not, when we’re brought in as a consultant to help with a project that’s failing to meet it’s engagement targets, it quickly becomes evident that the actual target users were never consulted with during the software’s design and development process.
To create a successful application or software product, it’s absolutely critical to include user stakeholders in the design process. Only by gaining a clear understanding of their motivations, capabilities, and perceptions of your app’s benefits, will you have the chance to create interfaces they appreciate, and can use effectively to achieve their goals.
The questions we’ll help you resolve at this phase are:
- Who are your stakeholders?
- What are their representative personas?
- How do they understand your unique value proposition (UVP)?
- What are their goals and motivations in relation to your UVP?
UX Implementation #1 - Operations, Processes and User Flows
Once we have a good understanding of how your stakeholders perceive your UVP, and we understand the operational processes your company follows to deliver this UVP, we can prepare User Experience flow diagrams to outline each process.
UX Implementation #2 - Wireframes
The next step in the design process is creating wireframes that outline, in a schematic fashion, all of your application’s individual screens. The wireframes serve to showcase the functionality and overall layout of each screen. Each and every screen and state of your app must have a confirmed wireframe before we can start designing the User Interface (UI).
User Interface Implementation - UI Design
Your application’s UI shapes your stakeholders’ cognition and comprehension of your company’s brand and UVP. It is your app’s user interface, more than anything else, that mediates your app’s functionality to your stakeholders and determines whether they evaluate their user experience with your service as meaningful, useful, and polished.
Your UI shapes more than your customer’s immediate experience of your product – Thanks to the Halo Effect, it also influences users’ overall impression of your organization – A poorly designed app can easily damage your brand’s hard-earned credibility.
Our team has designed banking, shopping and utility apps used by millions of people daily. We’ll ensure your app is not only visually appealing, but also complies with UI best practices, and delivers a premium user experience that establishes your brand as a trusted market leader.

UX / UI Design - How does it work?
Our process for UX and UI follows these principles:
Behavioral design
People love platforms that account for how they feel & think. These are the insights behavioral design provides.
User testing
The compass ensuring a platform’s utility
& appeal is the study of the people using it. The sooner this study is launched, the higher the returns it delivers.
Return on investment
A platform’s success is measured in relation to quantifiable goals. Failure can be useful, when we learn from it.
UX/UI Engagement Models
When you choose us your design provider, you have the option to hire us for project work, or on an ongoing retainer basis.
Project Work
Hiring us per project makes sense when you have a good grasp of your project’s scope-of-work, and can provide a detailed brief (see below) fully defining the expected project scope. Examples of project-based work could be:
- Design for hire – You need 50 screen wireframes designed and prepped for developers to work on.
- UX research – You want to conduct some UX research and need us to recruit, observe, and summarize findings on how users are able to complete given tasks in your app.
- UI surveys – You want to run a survey and have people rate their satisfaction with your existing design.
For project work we provide fixed cost estimates for the scope-of-work in your brief. You will know in advance exactly what you’re getting, and what it’s will cost you.
Design Retainer
Working with us on retainer makes sense when your project has exploratory aspects
- Perhaps user flows still require some thought.
- Maybe you’d like to investigate more than one wireframe / screen options.
- Etc.
Our retainer arrangement guarantees you an agreed number of designer days each month, and gives you all the freedom you need to utilize this time as you need.
A project is only ever as good as the brief
One of the most important steps on your path to marketing success is your project brief.
A good brief will help you avoid miscommunications, wasted $$$, and missed deadlines.
We know sometimes getting your thoughts in order is hard, so we’re happy to share with you the brief template our team uses, to help you get started. Remember – The more detailed your answers on the brief questions, the easier things will be for you later on…
UX/UI Project Timeline
With your brief ready, the next point you need to consider is the project delivery process. We’ve spent a decade developing a successful design delivery workflow which we will follow for your project. These are the major milestones you can expect from start to finish:
1
Introduction, planning and outline
Your UX / UI design project begins with a consultation to review and discuss your briefed needs, goals, scope, timeline and budget. The goal of this session is to ensure we all see eye-to-eye on your desired outcomes. With your project objectives and scope understood, we’ll deliver a response to your requirements that includes:
- Suggested design team structure and team members
- Estimated project timeline
- A quotation for your consideration
2
Setting up
After your requirements are clarified and agreed, and contracting and payments are sorted, we’ll set up the shared accounts and repositories necessary to support your project.
3
UI & UX Design
Once you approve the work plan, and our team has access to your materials, we’ll start working on your project. We use weekly sprints for review and task assignment. If your project has a steering committee that approves works, we’d like to meet them once every two weeks for catch-up and approvals.
4
UI / UX PROJECT HANDOVER
When it’s time to handover the project to your team, we’re happy to offer training and documentation as needed. Alternatively, you can retain us as your UX / UI partner.
Who’s in your UX/UI project team?
One of our managing partners will head your project team & will guarantee you get the great UX & UI you need. Depending on the scope-of-work in your brief, your delivery team may include any, or all, of the following:
Project Manager
The team’s work will be coordinated by one of our Project Managers. They’ll lead your project and serve as your primary point of contact. They’re responsible to:
- Ensure your project proceeds according to the agreed brief.
- Keeping you informed of progress
- Getting stakeholders’ sign-offs as needed.
Typically, our project managers will check in with you for a formal meeting once a week, and will manage day-to-day communication via email and chat.

Our design team has years of experience working on projects that have generated millions of dollars in revenue, and, in the case of apps, reached millions of downloads. We’ll ensure your project is easy-to-use, compliant with design best practices, and promotes your company image as a credible and professional provider. Our team includes
