Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
Price depends on screen count, logic complexity and required level of detail. An MVP app of 15-25 screens is one budget; a full product with 80+ screens and complex scenarios is another. I work with fixed prices per phase (research, IA, prototype, UI, design system, handoff) which gives predictability. The exact budget is locked after the first product brief where we describe the scope together.
MVP — 6-10 weeks, more complex product — 12-20 weeks. Stages: 1-2 weeks for research and JTBD mapping, 1-2 weeks for information architecture and wireframes, 3-5 weeks for UI and prototypes, 1-2 weeks for design system and handoff. If your dev team has already started, we can work in parallel: I deliver screens in batches rather than waiting for the full scope.
Depends on product strategy. For native apps I build separate mockups following Apple HIG (iOS) and Material Design 3 (Android) — users expect different behaviors, gestures, patterns. For cross-platform solutions on Flutter or React Native I build a unified system adapted for key native differences (back navigation, sharing, notifications). At the brief stage we decide what's best for your product and budget.
Yes. Without a design system a mobile product becomes unmanageable after 30-40 screens — each new screen is built from scratch and the team loses speed. I build a system from components (buttons, fields, cards, navigation), tokens (colors, spacing, typography), states and variants. I deliver it ready to use in Figma with linked components, plus export tokens in a format you can plug into Flutter or React Native.
Yes, for apps it's mandatory. Untested design is a hypothesis, not a solution. I organize sessions with 5-8 users from your target audience: they perform real scenarios on the prototype, I record delays, errors, attention drops. For Chernivtsi clients I often involve local users — that gives insights specific to here. After tests I make edits and retest critical points.
That's normal — apps evolve. I leave all Figma files organized: your next team (mine or another) sees the design system, decision history, rationale. I also write a short design logic document explaining why certain decisions were made. This saves time for future devs and designers. I often continue with the client across several versions — it's more efficient than starting from scratch each time.
Apple HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) is the iOS guideline with key principles: clarity, deference to content, depth, subtle shadows, specific gestures (swipe, long press), bottom navigation. Material Design 3 is Google's Android guideline built on dynamic colors, expressive shapes, FAB buttons, different navigation patterns. iOS and Android users subconsciously expect different things. I know both guidelines and apply them appropriately.
I deliver part of this: app icon in all required sizes, store screenshots (composed correctly for small previews), preview video script. That's part of my package. Text part (description, keywords, ASO strategy) is a separate track and I connect clients with ASO-specialized partners. A quality store page critically affects install conversion.
Yes. For a hotel near the Metropolitans' Residence of Bukovina and Dalmatia or apartments on Universytetska Street, an app delivers what a website can't: fast entry for repeat guests, push notifications about special offers, easy booking management, a reception in the pocket. I design mobile products for the tourism niche with local context: features for guests from Romania, Poland, English-speaking travelers, integration with Chernivtsi guides.
Yes, it's an interesting direction. Chernivtsi region wineries increasingly build loyalty clubs and subscriptions for rare batches. An app gives a direct channel to the customer without intermediaries: collection catalog, varietal stories, push about new releases, tasting bookings at the winery, orders with delivery. It's a product niche with a non-mass but very loyal user — and the design must reflect that through atmosphere, typography, rhythm.
Yes, EdTech is one of the fast-growing niches in Chernivtsi thanks to the strong academic base of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Bukovinian State Medical University and Bukovinian University. I design learning platforms, language apps, medical education products. Key in EdTech is motivational loops (how to retain users), easy absorption of complex content, progress mechanics. More on the approach on web design in Chernivtsi and logo design pages.
A full pack: Figma project with all screens, prototype, design system, components and variants. Spec document (sizes, spacing, fonts, state behavior). Icons exported in SVG and needed raster formats. A token document for colors and typography ready to plug into Flutter or React Native. Animations described as Lottie files or as technical specs. For the first 2 weeks after delivery I'm available for free developer consultations.

Mobile App Design in Chernivtsi — Oleksandr Filyuk
Mobile App Design in Chernivtsi: Why It's a Separate Profession
Chernivtsi is gradually becoming one of the visible IT hubs in western Ukraine. Chernivtsi IT Cluster brings together product teams, Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University trains strong engineers, local business — from hotels near the Opera House to Bukovinian wineries — increasingly thinks about its own mobile products. In this context, app design isn't 'making a mockup' but designing a product that will live in a user's pocket for years.
I'm Oleksandr Filyuk. I've worked in design for over 15 years and during that time I've delivered 130+ projects. Mobile is one of the hardest directions because three dimensions intersect here: product logic (how it earns and solves the user's task), platform constraints (iOS, Android, cross-platform), and human behavior (gestures, attention span, usage context — on transit, on the move, one-handed).
How I Work on Mobile Apps for Chernivtsi Clients
Stage one — product brief with a JTBD (Jobs To Be Done) focus. Instead of 'we need an app' we phrase it as 'when a user finds themselves in situation X, they want to achieve Y, and the app helps them do it faster and better'. This frame cuts unnecessary features upfront and focuses the team on the value core.
Stage two — scenario map and information architecture. I draw user paths: onboarding, core actions, repeat interactions, edge cases (connection loss, payment error, awaiting delivery). The output is a screen and navigation structure agreed with the team.
Stage three — wireframes and Figma prototype. I make black-and-white mockups with real states (loading, error, empty), not only happy paths. The prototype is clickable and can be tested with users before the UI stage. This saves weeks otherwise spent on a 'pretty' but inconvenient product.
Stage four — UI design following Apple HIG (iOS) and Material Design 3 (Android), or a unified system for cross-platform. Colors, typography, microinteractions, animations, illustrations are selected. Everything is checked for accessibility against WCAG 2.2 AA.
Stage five — design system and developer handoff. I organize the file so the dev team can work without constant questions. I export tokens in a format suitable for Flutter or React Native, describe animations, prepare spacing and state specs.
What Mobile Products Are Made in Chernivtsi
Tourism apps. Hotels near the Metropolitans' Residence of Bukovina and Dalmatia, apartments on Universytetska Street, tour services. A mobile app delivers what a website can't: fast entry for repeat guests, push notifications, two-tap booking, map integration for walks along Turkish Square and Hetman Sahaidachnyi Street.
Wine clubs. Chernivtsi region wineries build enthusiast clubs and subscriptions for rare batches. A mobile app is a perfect channel: collection catalog, varietal stories, tasting bookings, release pushes. The design here has to feel 'premium' through typography and rhythm, not excess.
EdTech. Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Bukovinian State Medical University and Bukovinian University create both a strong talent base and demand for modern learning products. I design language apps, medical education platforms, trainers for graduates.
Local services and fintech. Delivery, service booking, local wallets and loyalty programs. A segment where user expectations are shaped by global products (Uber, Revolut, Booking), and a Chernivtsi product has to match the same UX bar.
Mistakes I See in Other People's Mobile Projects
First — neglecting states. The designer shows a perfect screen with data but doesn't show what happens during loading, error or empty list. In a real app the user falls into these states constantly — and that's where loyalty drains.
Second — copying patterns between iOS and Android. What's native to iPhone (bottom navigation, subtle shadows, specific gestures) feels foreign on Android — and vice versa. I've seen apps that looked 'fine' but lost 30-40% conversion on one platform due to mismatch with native patterns.
Third — no design system. The first 20 screens fly, and by screen 50 the app looks like different people built it — because without a system every screen was made from scratch. I lay down a system from the start, even for small MVPs — it pays off at the next update.
How to Order Mobile App Design in Chernivtsi
Step one — a short contact. You describe the idea in a few sentences: what kind of product, what stage, what budget. I respond the same day and offer a free 45-60 minute product consultation — online or in Chernivtsi. In that meeting we validate the idea together and define a rough scope.
If working together makes sense — I prepare a proposal with phases, prices, schedule and team (sometimes I bring in a product analyst or researcher if it strengthens the result). We sign a contract, you make the first payment, we start with the product brief. I keep you in the loop with weekly demos: you see wireframes, prototypes, UI screens, the final design system. After developer handoff I stay available for 2 weeks free of charge for team consultations.
If your mobile product is part of a broader brand — also check the web design in Chernivtsi and logo design pages. I often lead clients comprehensively: mark — site — app — and that's the most effective format because the brand stays coherent from day one.
