It depends on scope. MVP of 8-12 screens — 3000-5000 USD. Mid-size app of 20-30 screens with onboarding, auth, profile and main features — 6000-10000 USD. Complex app (B2B with roles, marketplace, banking) — from 12000 USD. The price covers UX research, information architecture, wireframes, final UI, interactive prototype, design tokens, iOS and Android specs. 30% prepayment, the rest by milestones. More on mobile app design and a paired website can be bundled.

MVP of 8-12 screens — 4-6 weeks: 1 week for research and IA, 2 weeks for wireframes, 2-3 weeks for UI and prototype. Mid-size app of 20-30 screens — 8-12 weeks. Complex — 12-20 weeks. I work step by step with weekly Figma and Loom demos — the client always sees progress. Each stage has a sign-off point after which going back gets expensive and slow.

Both, in two variants. Variant one — native design: separate mockups for iOS following Apple Human Interface Guidelines and for Android following Material Design 3. That gives perfect UX because users get the system they are used to. Variant two — cross-platform design for Flutter or React Native: a single set of screens adapted to both. Cheaper and faster but requires more compromise. Which approach to choose we discuss at the brief based on budget and goals.

Yes, and I often design the system so that a web version can be added later easily. Design tokens and components are platform-agnostic from day one — later we extend them to desktop and tablet. If from the start it is clear that both an app and a website are needed, I recommend doing them simultaneously — it is cheaper and more consistent.

Always. I do not start drawing without research — that is a principle. Standard package: interviews with 5-8 representatives of the target audience (30-45 minutes each), analysis of 3-5 competitors (foreign and Ukrainian), customer journey map, personas, feature prioritization with MoSCoW. Only then — information architecture and wireframes. Research is included in the price, not billed separately.

I do not develop personally — for that I have trusted teams. Native iOS — Swift developers, Android — Kotlin. Cross-platform — Flutter or React Native. I know teams in Chernihiv, Kyiv, Lviv, some are graduates of Chernihiv National Technological University and Chernihiv National Pedagogical University. I can either recommend a team or work with your existing developers — in that case I prepare a detailed handoff: specs, tokens, video walkthrough.

Every app I design meets WCAG 2.2 AA. That means text-to-background contrast at least 4.5:1, tap targets at least 44x44 points on iOS and 48x48 dp on Android, dynamic type support (user increases system font — app adapts), labels for all icons and buttons for VoiceOver and TalkBack, keyboard navigation and external switch support. I verify this on real devices, not only in Figma.

I deliver several artifacts. First, a Figma file with components and auto-layouts — the developer can review all states, variants, icons. Second, design tokens in JSON or SCSS — colors, typography, spacing, shadows, radii. Third, specifications separately for iOS and Android with recommended SF Symbols or Material Icons. Fourth, a 15-30 minute Loom video walking through key screens and scenarios. This dramatically reduces questions during development.

Yes. Chernihiv oblast is a forest region with active timber export. I build B2B apps for dealers and wholesale clients: product catalog with filters by wood species, cut sizes, volumes and FSC certificates, orders with confirmation, Nova Poshta tracking, PDF acts and invoices, manager chat. Separately I build mobile solutions for forestry brigades — output tracking, timesheets, GPS coordinates. Usually paired with a website.

Yes, this is one of my favorite categories here. Chernihiv is the oldest city of Ukraine with princely roots from the 9th century. For tourism brands I build apps with an interactive city map, routes through Chernihiv Detinets, Boldyna Hora, Anthony Caves, Saviour-Transfiguration and Borys-and-Hlib Cathedrals, audio guide in Ukrainian/English/Polish, hotel and tour booking. I apply the same approach to apps for Kotsiubynsky Park and Old Town walking tours.

Chernihiv has many businesses founded by parents in the 1990s and now run by children in their 30s and 40s, often with Chernihiv National Pedagogical University or foreign education. The second generation often initiates the mobile transformation — loyalty apps, B2B portals, CRM integration. I help them move the business to mobile without breaking what works: I keep the brand, the 50+ audience, and add modern convenience for younger customers. It is a delicate process but very rewarding.

I do design personally, no team delegation. For development I bring in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter and React Native specialists I have worked with for 5-10 years. Among them are Chernihiv people — some graduates of Chernihiv National Technological University and Chernihiv National Pedagogical University, some from Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and Lviv schools. A local Chernihiv team has an advantage — smaller time gap and the option to meet in person near Hollywood mall or in the Chernihiv IT Cluster office. All my contractors are Ukrainian.
