UX & UI Design
Functional design.
Frictionless products.
Our team of designers can bring your ideas to life and create a robust, accessible product that’s fit for business and back-end alike. In balancing user experience with implementation details, we ensure that what’s built is intuitive, delightful, and meets your technical and business requirements.

UX & UI Design Services
We can help bridge the divide between business needs, domain logic, and user goals, and produce the artefacts that will build consensus and accelerate your product development.
User Interface Design
We approach UI design from an engineering-first point of view. Our work is functional, fit-for-purpose, and comes crafted with your accessibility, state, and API capabilities in mind.
Information Architecture
We can help you map and shape the routes, navigation patterns, hierarchies, and taxonomies that best reflect your business logic and APIs, to deliver compelling user experience outcomes.
Prototyping
Get to the bottom of what you’re building and fast-track the design conversation with clickable interfaces that reflect the capabilities of your system architecture and APIs.
Design Systems
From foundations, to tokens, to component APIs and docs – we know how to piece the parts of your UI & UX into a documented and maintainable system that you can scale on.
User Research
Our research is not a detour from your product milestones. We take a pragmatic approach where findings are material to project outcomes – positively impacting confidence and velocity.
Designing better. Together.
Over the years, we’ve developed a collaborative approach to designing and developing software that increases the likelihood of shipping great work while maintaining the wellbeing of the people involved. It focuses on team dynamics, silo-breaking, and shared responsibility – the foundations of unified and productive teams.
Vocal wouldn’t be what it is today without Thinkmill. The team shaped the product visually, technically, and ethically, as we grew from a hunch to a multi-million user network.

A new design language and collaborative culture to power the next generation of payroll products
We partnered with Reckon on a multi-year project to create an internal design culture capable of shipping first-class products and features autonomously. We led by example, defining a new design language and guidelines from first principles, and implemented them across a range of design system powered web and native products.
"Thinkmill brought a fresh design perspective and a depth of experience that gives me the confidence to pursue a mobile product strategy – together."
