Joshua Ng
Designing apps people actually get.
I'm Joshua, an Information Technology student at Singapore Polytechnic. I design mobile apps that make complicated things feel simple, working from research and user flows through to the final interface.
Featured projects
Research, user flows and final UI. Each case study walks through the problem, the insights behind the decisions, and how the experience fits together.
A UX design student who talks to users, tests until the confusing parts disappear, and can build what he designs.
Joshua Ng
UX Design Student · Singapore
I'm in the Diploma in Information Technology at Singapore Polytechnic, specialising in User Experience Design. I got into this because I kept noticing apps that made simple things hard, and I wanted to be the person who fixes that.
Most of my time goes into research and iteration: talking to users, sketching flows, then testing prototypes until the confusing parts disappear. Because my diploma is IT-based, I can also read and write the front-end code, which means my handoffs are realistic and I can build what I design.
Right now I'm taking on freelance projects around my school schedule, and looking for a UX internship where I can learn from a real product team.
Education & experience
- Singapore Polytechnic Diploma in Information Technology, UX Design specialisation Since 2025
- Freelance UI/UX Designer Since 2023
Tools I work in
How I can help you
Need a design hand for your product, startup idea or school project? These are the things I take on. Every project is quoted individually.
UI Design
Clean, consistent screens for mobile and web, from a single landing page to a full app.
UX Research
Interviews, surveys and competitor reviews so decisions come from evidence, not guesses.
Wireframes & Flows
Structure and navigation mapped out before anything gets styled.
Prototypes
Clickable Figma prototypes you can put in front of users or investors.
Usability Testing
Watching real people use your product, then a clear list of what to fix first.
Design Systems
Reusable components and tokens so your product stays consistent as it grows.
Website Build
Designs shipped as a live site in Framer, React or hand-coded HTML/CSS.
My process
Simple and transparent. You'll know what's happening at every stage.
Understand
We talk through your goals, users and constraints. I research the problem space and competitors.
Explore
Flows, wireframes and rough concepts. We pick a direction together before any polish.
Design
High-fidelity screens and an interactive prototype, refined over a couple of review rounds.
Test & hand off
Usability checks, then organised files and specs your developer can actually work from.
Common questions
Anything else? Email me and I'll get back to you within a day.
01You're still studying. Can you take on real projects?
Yes. I take a limited number of freelance projects around my school schedule so nothing gets rushed. I'll always be upfront about my availability before we start.
02What does a project cost?
It depends entirely on scope, so I quote each project individually after we've talked. My rates are student-friendly, so send me what you have in mind and I'll come back with a number and a timeline.
03How long does a project take?
A landing page is usually 1–2 weeks. A small app or multi-page site is closer to 3–5 weeks. I'll give you a specific estimate once I understand the scope.
04Can you build the site too, or design only?
Both. My diploma is IT-based, so I can hand off clean specs to your developer or build it myself in Framer, React or plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
05Are you looking for an internship?
Yes. I'm keen on a UX internship where I can learn from an experienced product team. Happy to share my full case studies and resume on request.
06What do you need from me to start?
A rough idea of the problem, who it's for, and any references you like. If you have existing branding or content, that helps. If not, we can figure it out together.
Got a project? Let's talk.
Whether it's a startup idea, a small business site or a school project that needs design help, tell me a bit about it and I'll get back to you.
