UI/UX Designer in Istanbul
I am Moayad Aldalati, a UI/UX designer based in Istanbul. I design interfaces in Figma, websites, mobile apps, SaaS products, and dashboards, for startups and businesses in Turkey, the Gulf, and worldwide. Because I also develop, my designs are grounded in what can actually be built, and can continue straight into development without a handoff to a second freelancer.
What kind of design work this covers
- User flows and wireframes that solve the product before any visual design
- Full interface design in Figma for websites, apps, and dashboards
- Interactive prototypes for testing an idea or pitching investors
- Design systems: reusable components, consistent styles, developer-ready structure
- Redesigns of interfaces users find confusing or dated
How design collaboration works remotely
Design is naturally remote-friendly: everything lives in a shared Figma file you can open, comment on, and follow in real time. Projects run in review rounds, flows first, then wireframes, then the visual UI, so feedback lands early, when changes are cheap, not after everything is polished. Clients in the Gulf and Europe share working hours with Istanbul, so review cycles happen same-day.
Design that survives development
The most common way design budgets get wasted: a polished Figma file handed to a developer who then improvises the spacing, states, and edge cases the file never specified. My designs are built developer-first, real components, defined states (hover, empty, error, loading), and annotations where behavior needs explaining. And when I develop the design myself, what ships is pixel-for-pixel what you approved.
Who hires a UI/UX designer here
- Startups in Istanbul and the Gulf designing a SaaS product or mobile app before development
- Businesses whose developer needs a professional design to build from
- Companies with an existing product whose users struggle, redesign without a rebuild
- Agencies and teams that need overflow interface design capacity in English or Arabic
Starting prices
UI/UX product design starts from $1,500, scoped by journeys, screens and states. If the project continues into front-end implementation, that is a design-to-launch engagement from $2,500, with the design phase counted inside the project rather than billed twice.
Frequently asked questions
Do you design mobile apps as well as websites?
Yes. Mobile app UI design in Figma, flows, screens, and prototypes, is part of the core work, alongside websites, SaaS products, and dashboards.
Can you work with our existing development team?
Yes. You get an organized, developer-ready Figma file with components, defined states, and annotations. I can also join a handoff call with your developers to walk through the design.
Do you design in Arabic as well as English?
Yes. I design Arabic and bilingual interfaces with proper RTL layouts, real Arabic typography, and mirrored components, designed natively in Arabic, not flipped afterwards.
How much does UI/UX design cost in Istanbul?
From $1,500 for a product design engagement, as a starting point in USD scoped by journeys, screens and states, the same basis for local and international clients, since everything runs remotely anyway.
Design only, or design and development together?
Both are available. Design-only projects end with a developer-ready Figma file. Design-and-build projects continue into development with me, which removes the handoff entirely, most clients choose this once they see the design.
