In Newcastle
Design for how people really use their phones
Newcastle users open apps on trains and light rail, at the beach and on site with gloves on. Mobile app design in Newcastle tests in those conditions, so buttons are large, contrast is strong and key screens work even when the connection drops.
Our team is based in Perth and has no Newcastle office, so we are open about how the work happens: scheduled video calls, shared documents and short written updates. We can arrange a visit to Newcastle when a project calls for it.
- Glove-friendly controls
- Real users tested
- Accessibility built in
Common situations
What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve
Field apps used with gloves
Field apps are used with gloves, in glare and between jobs. We design large controls, short forms and clear contrast, and test on the actual devices crews carry.
Community and event apps
Community and event apps are used quickly by many people. We design simple flows and clear information that work in crowds.
Health and service apps
Health and service apps need plain language and reassurance. We test with real users so that anxious people can complete tasks.

Deeper research means more sessions and more time analysing what we hear.
iOS and Android have different conventions, so we design with each in mind.
Inclusive design needs extra checks, but it helps everyone use the app.
