Mobile app design, native patterns per platform, motion the OS already expects.
Mobile design is two products, not one Figma file. iOS and Android have different gesture languages, different system fonts, different settings expectations. We design per platform, not the lowest-common-denominator screen that works nowhere and feels wrong everywhere.
What we build
Per-platform navigation patterns
Tab bars + push navigation on iOS; bottom navigation + Material drawers on Android. Each platform's affordances respected. The user doesn't think 'this app feels weird'; they think 'this app feels native'.
Native typography, not custom-everywhere
SF Pro on iOS, Roboto on Android, with custom display type only where the brand earns it. System fonts respect Dynamic Type and accessibility text scaling; custom fonts handle that explicitly.
Gestures designed in, not bolted on
Swipe to dismiss, pull to refresh, haptic feedback on the moments that earn it. The gesture language is part of the design, not something engineering adds when the user complains.
Onboarding for the first 60 seconds
Permissions requested only when needed (not all upfront), value shown before the signup wall, the first task achievable in three taps. Activation lives in the first session or it doesn't live.
Dark mode as a real variant
Per-platform dark mode tokens that respect system preferences. Not a CSS filter; an actual two-mode design system. Color choices tested in both modes against the brand's accent.
Loading + offline + error states for mobile
Mobile connections drop. Designs account for it. Optimistic UI where it's safe, retry affordances where it's not, offline-readable cached state for the parts that matter. The app doesn't show a spinner and call it done.
Where this fits
You're shipping iOS and Android and the current design is a Figma file that looks identical on both, and feels wrong on both.
Your app got built on React Native and now feels like a website running in WebView; the design refresh has to fix it.
Your team has the engineering capacity for native iOS or Android and needs design that respects what 'native' actually means.
