When you need us

### Four reasons teams hire Other Land for a mobile app

You generated a concept. Now it has to look like a real product.

From prototype to product
We turn AI-generated screens into a mobile app you can ship. Style laid over structure, UX simplified, states and edge cases finished. AI prototypes

Users install, start the flow, and drop out before the end.

Drop-off and conversion
We find where onboarding or the paywall breaks, from user interviews and analytics. Then we design the changes, test them, and ship what moves the metric. Conversion

The UI looks like the year it was built, and every change is slow.

Strategic redesign
A new visual direction, then a design system under it, so screens stay consistent and the next twenty ship in days instead of months. Redesign

Users try the app once and never come back after day one.

Retention and the aha moment
We work from your analytics to make the value obvious in the first session, then design the loop that gives someone a reason to open it again. Retention

How we work

### How Other Land designs a mobile app a new app or a redesign

1. Define
We define the problem before anyone designs a screen

- Interviews with your users, your team, and support
- Your analytics first, to see where the numbers actually break
- Competitor best practices from the apps your users compare you to
- One written problem statement, tied to a metric, before design starts

2. UX
We design or rebuild the flow around the app's user

- New flows built on best practices, or existing ones cut to fewer steps
- Mobile best practices, usually one universal design, sometimes per platform
- Key flows tested with real users before they reach dev
- Empty, loading, error, and offline states designed, not left to dev

3. UI system
We design the UI and put a design system under it

- A new visual language, a refresh, or work inside your existing system
- Tokens and components, so the next screens stay consistent
- A system AI tools can compose from, in your language and not theirs
- Every AI-assisted screen reviewed and signed off by our design director

4. Handoff
We plug into how your developers already ship

- Finished Figma files, handed to your team the way they expect
- Components via Figma MCP, or front-end in Claude Code or Cursor
- Figma, code, or both, matched to your team and your product
- Syncs with your team one to three times a week

What you get

### Mobile app design deliverables in Figma, in code, or both

New or redesigned mobile flows on best practices, usually universal, sometimes per platform.

Clickable prototypes of key flows, built on your design system, ready to test.

Your team

### Three people on your mobile app

#### A mobile product designer

An AI-native product designer who has shipped mobile apps, matched to your domain, from fintech to wellness.

#### A design director with an exit

Our design director built and sold a mobile app of their own, and reviews every screen with a founder's eye.

#### A product manager

Keeps scope, priorities and releases on track, and ties the design work to your business outcomes.

Who it's for

### Mobile app design for every company stage

#### A startup or MVP

Speed and focus. A clickable mobile MVP in 2-6 weeks, scoped to the flows that prove the idea to users and investors.

#### A scale-up

A fresh view of onboarding and retention, or work along your roadmap, whichever your team needs, shipped weekly with your squads.

#### An enterprise app

We join your squads and design team. For one telecom app we built a system from zero, with RTL, LTR and light and dark themes.

Collaboration models

### Four ways to work with Other Land. Pick the setup that fits you

Our app backlog keeps growing. Can you join and help us ship?

Embedded Designer
An AI-native product designer who works inside your team, owns your design, and ships on your roadmap. Full-time or part-time, for as long as you need. From 4 weeks

Day one retention is flat. Can you fix the first session?

Project Sprint
A clear scope with a clear outcome. One flow, one funnel, one release. We come in, do the work, and ship it with your team. 1 to 3 months

We do not know where in the app we lose users. Can you find it?

UX Diagnostic
A focused look at where your product loses users, backed by your analytics. You get the problems, the causes, and a list of what to fix first. 2 to 6 weeks

We have steady design work, but not a full-time hire's worth.

Fractional Support
Ongoing design help without a full-time hire. A set number of hours each month, for whatever needs doing. Scale up or down anytime. From 40h / month

### Mobile app design questions, answered

#### Why hire Other Land instead of a freelance app designer?

Other Land gives you an AI-native product designer and a studio behind them, where a freelancer is one point of failure. The designer works on your product full time in their committed hours, with a design director who reviews the work, a PM who keeps it moving, and cover when someone is away. That is what lets us hold a schedule and keep quality even on a hard week.
It also changes what happens when the problem is not the one you hired for. A freelancer does the tickets. We say when the ticket is not the issue, and show you the analytics that say so. On price, a freelancer looks cheaper per hour and often costs more in rework.

#### Can you audit our app if we already have a design system?

Yes, Other Land audits apps with a design system, and it is a common way to start. A UX audit takes two to six weeks depending on the product, and you get a ranked list of what is costing you users, with the reason for each and a design for the fix, not a PDF of complaints. Your developers ship it themselves.
These teams are usually the best case, because the fixes land fast. What we find most often is that the system is fine and the flow around it is not. If the same issue repeats on every screen, that is a system problem and we will say so. After the audit some teams stop there. Others keep us for the screens the fixes turn out to need.

#### Can Other Land design inside our design system?

Yes, and Other Land prefers it. Our first week on a product with a system is spent reading it, what the tokens mean, which components are load-bearing, where the team has already worked around it. Then we design inside it and extend it only where the product genuinely needs something new, with a note on why. Where a system is missing, incomplete, or has drifted from what is in production, we can rebuild it as a design system engagement.
A well-built system is now also what makes AI tools useful. Named tokens and predictable components are the difference between generated screens that look like your product and generated screens that look like everyone else's.
If you are starting from zero, Other Land's own mobile starter kit is free in Figma Community, with 100+ components and 10+ starter screens for common iOS and Android patterns.

#### Does Other Land design app icons, branding, and illustrations?

Yes, Other Land covers all three, with one distinction. The main designer on your product is a product designer. They can handle icons, brand materials, and the smaller visual work as it comes up, and most teams never need more than that. But if you are planning a brand refresh, new guidelines, a full asset set, or custom illustration and icon systems, we bring in a brand designer for that stretch instead of stretching the wrong person across it. They do the foundational work, hand it over, and the product designer then maintains and extends it inside the product, so the brand stays alive in the interface rather than sitting in a file nobody opens. On mobile this matters more than teams expect. The app icon, the first screenshot, and the store listing decide whether the app is installed at all, and they are usually designed last by whoever is free.

#### Does Other Land also build the app?

Other Land takes design into code, and your engineers build the app around it. We work in Figma, in code, or both, matched to your team. If your app runs on React Native, a design engineer builds screens in your components and opens a pull request. Otherwise we hand components through Figma MCP, or generate front-end in Claude Code or Cursor, so your developers start from something running.
For teams without an engineering side yet, we have partner studios we have shipped with before and can introduce you. We stay on design in that setup, which keeps the accountability clean.

#### Can a design agency guarantee higher app conversion?

Other Land commits to the method, not the number. Be careful with anyone who promises one. Conversion moves on pricing, positioning, acquisition quality, and the market, and design is one input among those. We instrument the funnel before we touch it, we agree with you which metric the work is aimed at, we ship changes in small releases so the effect is attributable, and we tell you when a change did nothing.
Sometimes the honest answer after two releases is that the problem is not in the interface. You will hear that from us. Across our growth design work the numbers do move, Stockpile being one example, but the number is the outcome of the method not a promise made before we see your data.

#### Have you designed mobile apps before?

Yes, 11 mobile apps, including Beanz, Mobily, DressX, Spilt and AbleToBe. Mobily's app runs on a design system with 1,200+ screens in Arabic and English, and Beanz reached Top 1 on its local App Store after the redesign. One product the studio designed reaches 12.3M app users.

#### How much does mobile app design cost?

Other Land works in weekly sprints and bills every four weeks, like a subscription, with a four-week minimum. You choose the setup: an embedded designer on your roadmap, a project sprint for one release, or fractional support from 40 hours a month. After a 30-minute intro call Other Land sends a written estimate for your actual scope, so you know the number before anything starts.
