Design Services
In UKAD, we offer a full range of services creating the visual side of your project

Quality User Interface design is about a keen eye and strong aesthetic sense, as well as an understanding of composition theory and accessibility. With all these skills, UKAD transforms a bunch of code into user-friendly products

2. Research
We analyze your business domain, user personas, competitors and their products, and try to predict users' behavior
3. UX Design
We develop User and Job Story, Customer Journey Map, User Flow, Information architecture
4. Design Validation
We create wireframes or clickable prototypes, according to the requirements, to evaluate the application's interface
5. Visual Design
Then we design styles, colors, fonts, metrics, visuals, and tricks to bring your product interface to life

Tools we use
Our toolset lets us cover all the stages of the visual side of the project – from research, UX design, interface design to branding, prototyping and animation
These days simultaneous access and collaborative working on the file are crucial. We primarily use Miro for discussing design drafts, user-flows, wireframes, and other UX questions. Figma is our go-to when it comes to visual design. Sometimes we use Sketch for UI design. Illustrator is our icon design tool. And Photoshop we use sometimes for raster images.

Service models and project types
UKAD suggests variable design service models. We do love projects where we exclusively develop everything: from the first design sketch to development and support afterward. In this case, we can demonstrate best our whole potential and expertise: research, UX design, branding, and visual design. But many projects have a limited amount of time and budget available. We highly appreciate this type of project and we have an established approach for this project type.

- Complete design project from scratch
- Research expertise
- Overall brand look and feel refresh
- Responsivity design
- Website facelifting
