UX/UI design engineers can actually build and users actually understand.

We design digital products in Figma from user research through interaction design, visual design, and design system documentation. Handoffs that contain everything a developer needs. Not beautiful mocks that fall apart in code.

Design work we deliver

Six types of product design engagement each with a handoff that engineers can build from without losing clarity.

Product Design (Web & Mobile)

End-to-end product design user research, information architecture, wireframes, visual design, interactive prototype, and developer handoff. For new products, redesigns, and major feature additions.

Design Systems

Figma component libraries and coded component libraries. Design tokens (colour, spacing, typography). Component documentation. Visual consistency at scale and reduced design/dev time features.

UX Research & Usability Testing

User interviews, moderated prototype testing, card sorting, tree testing. Research synthesised into specific design recommendations — not reports nobody reads.

Mobile App Design (iOS & Android)

Native platform design, Apple HIG and Material Design 3 as foundations. Always with platform-specific component variants. iOS Android feel native, not forced.

Design Audit & Redesign

Comprehensive review of an existing product's UX inconsistency, usability problems, accessibility failures, conversion blockers. Prioritised recommendations with effort/impact estimates.

Interaction Design & Prototyping

High-fidelity interactive Figma prototypes for user testing, stakeholder presentation, and developer reference. Animations, transitions, and micro-interactions specified clearly.

Who hires us

Product teams whose Figma files don't survive contact with engineering

Beautiful mocks that require negotiation to implement. Designs that ignore platform constraints. Handoffs with no states or component specs. Our designers work alongside engineers, they know what can be built in the time available.

Companies with inconsistent UI across a product that's grown organically

Different teams have added different design patterns. Nothing is consistent. A design system audit and rebuild gives you a single source of truth that scales as the product grows.

Startups that need a designed product before development starts

Strong visual design and UX reduces development tim,. Engineers aren't making UI decisions. It also reduces rework, user testing a prototype is cheaper than user testing a shipped product.

Enterprise products with accessibility or WCAG compliance requirements

WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is a legal requirement for many Australian government and enterprise products. We design to WCAG from the first wireframe accessibility built in, not audited out after the fact.

Designers who understand engineering constraints.

Four ways an EB Pearls design engagement produces output that actually gets built as designed.

Designers who understand engineering constraints

Our designers work alongside developers every sprint. They understand achievable complexity, how CSS layout works, what native iOS and Android components can and can't do, and where design debt accumulates.

Design systems that get used

Many design systems are built and abandoned. Ours are built to be used components that match real development components, tokens that translate to CSS variables, documentation that answers questions developers actually ask.

Research when it's needed, not as a default tax

User research is genuinely valuable when the problem is ambiguous. It adds cost when the problem is well-understood. We'll tell you when research is worth doing and what type will answer your specific questions.

Accessibility is designed in, not audited out

WCAG 2.1 AA compliance built into design from wireframe. Contrast ratios checked with Figma plugins as we design. Focus states specified. Accessibility problems are cheaper to fix in Figma than in code.

Real projects.
Measurable outcomes.

Numbers from production — not benchmarks or demos.

They’re a very tight group. They all sit in the same office. They’re very hardworking and determined, as well as friendly and easy to talk to. They always put you first, listen to you, and make you feel like a superstar.

Mitchell Gunner

Owner, Achieved Music

After sharing my ideas and concept with EB Pearls, they formulated a design plan and implementation roadmap. They considered the software's functionality within our target market's dynamics and proceeded to develop a comprehensive product using Flutter.

John Olapurath

They make sure to understand the purpose and goals of our mobile app, identifying the target audience, and defining our desired outcomes. They also identify and document the functional and non-functional requirements of the mobile app, such as features, functionalities, user interface, performance, security, and integration with other systems.

Lindsay Dawicki

I’ve always turned to EB Pearls when I need technical expertise. I’ve had a relationship with EB Pearls for over eight years and have tasked them with a number of projects. The team are always willing to advise on solutions and their experience working across businesses, industries and technologies, means their expertise is often invaluable.

Kevin Jochelson

Product owner, Workyard

We’re very happy with the results of EB Pearls’ work. Since its launch, the app has had over 7,000 downloads, with around 6,000 users completing the signup process in the first 6 weeks.

Giuseppe Saffioti

Co-Founder, Intro Dating App

The website that EBPearls developed for Gondwana Link does everything we asked for. It is very easy to use in the backend and the design is fresh and clean which is what we wanted. EBPearls build customised ‘modules' and they all work well and are very intuitive to use. I needed very little training to be able to use the back end.

Amanda Keesing

Director, Gondwana link

EB Pearls created a unique and special website and web design agency, perfect for our customers. We loved the team’s efficiency in creating us great user experience and a seamless website design plan, with beautiful on-brand illustrations. The team were patient, professional and always there to guide us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and work with them again in the future.

Every question answered.

Can't find what you need?

UX is how a product works — user research, flows, wireframes, information architecture. UI is how it looks — visual design, colour, typography, components. Most product work requires both, and separating them without coordinating between them produces poor results.

Feature or landing page: AUD $8,000–$25,000. Full product design: $25,000–$80,000. Design system: $30,000–$80,000. Design retainer: $6,000–$15,000 per month.

Figma. All components built with Figma's component system. Design tokens defined consistently. Developers get accurate specs via Figma Dev Mode — no lost-in-translation handoffs, no separate Zeplin export.

Figma Dev Mode provides accurate component specs, design tokens, and CSS values. We also produce component documentation covering states, interactions, and edge cases. Developers do not need to reverse-engineer designs or ask 'how does this behave when...'

Comprehensive review of an existing product's UX — inconsistency identification, usability problems, accessibility failures, conversion blockers. Prioritised recommendations with effort/impact estimates. We produce specific, actionable findings — not generic best practice lists.

Feature design: 2–4 weeks. Full product design with research: 6–12 weeks. Design system: 6–10 weeks. The biggest variable is the scope of user research and the number of distinct user flows.

A library of reusable UI components with defined visual styles, spacing, and typography. Ensures consistency, reduces design and dev time for new features, and creates a shared language between designers and engineers. We build design systems that get used — not ones that get built and abandoned.

Yes — when the problem is ambiguous or you're designing for users you don't represent. User interviews, usability testing, card sorting, tree testing. Research synthesised into specific design decisions, not into a discovery report nobody reads.

WCAG 2.1 AA minimum. Contrast ratios checked during design with Figma plugins. Touch targets 44px minimum. Focus states specified. Screen reader order considered in layout. Accessibility built in, not audited out — significantly cheaper to fix in Figma than in code.

Yes — native platform design with Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design 3 as foundations. Always designed with platform-specific component variants. iOS and Android feel like native apps on their respective platforms, not like a single design forced onto both.

Both. We build the Figma component library (with variants, auto-layout, and tokens) and the coded component library (in React with Tailwind or CSS Modules). The Figma file and the code are kept in sync — designers and developers work from the same source of truth.

Yes — design retainers cover new feature design, design system maintenance, usability testing on live product, and design QA review of development implementations. Most products benefit from ongoing design support rather than a one-off engagement.
