Arabic-first, Gulf-native

Why teams choose us
A design partner built for Kuwait.
Banking and fintech journeys
Onboarding, transfers, cards and consent flows for regulated products, designed to pass review and still feel effortless to customers.
Retail and e-commerce that converts
Product discovery, checkout and order tracking for online stores and marketplaces, designed for mobile-first shoppers and local payment habits.
Remote by default, on site when it counts
We work with Kuwaiti teams from our studio in Lebanon and our team in the region, on overlapping hours and the Sunday-to-Thursday week, and travel to Kuwait for workshops and research.
Local context
What we design around.
The programmes, regulators and expectations that shape digital products in the market. We design with them in mind; your legal and compliance teams remain the authority.
- Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK)
Banks, payment providers and fintechs supervised by the CBK need onboarding, disclosure and consent journeys that satisfy review without losing customers along the way.
- Government e-services
Kuwaiti residents increasingly deal with ministries through unified digital channels such as the Sahel app, which raises the bar for every public-sector journey.
- Data privacy and CITRA
The Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority sets data privacy rules for service providers, shaping how consent, permissions and account settings are designed.
- Local payment expectations
Kuwaiti shoppers expect to pay with KNET and familiar cards at checkout, so payment choice, fees and confirmation screens are designed around them from the start.
Designing for one of the Gulf’s most connected markets
Kuwait’s users are young, mobile-first and used to doing almost everything on their phones, from paying bills and booking appointments to ordering dinner and renewing documents. Banks compete on the quality of their apps, retailers on the speed of their checkout, and government services are moving into unified digital channels as part of the Kuwait Vision 2035 development plan. In that market a confusing screen is not a minor irritation; it is a customer who opens a competitor’s app instead.
Banking, fintech and government services
Regulated products carry the most weight and the most friction. We design onboarding, identity verification, transfers and consent journeys for banks and fintechs that have to satisfy the Central Bank of Kuwait without losing customers halfway, and citizen-facing services that work on the first attempt for every age group. When an existing product is underperforming, a UX audit shows where users drop off and what to fix first.
Mobile apps, websites and e-commerce
Much of what Kuwaiti users touch every day is an app or a store. Our mobile app and product design work covers iOS and Android apps from first flows to a full design system, and our website design and redesign service covers corporate sites and online stores, bilingual from the first wireframe. For retail and e-commerce we focus on the journeys that make or lose money: search, product pages, basket, checkout, payment and delivery tracking.
Our work for Gulf audiences
For Group Alballam we designed an Arabic VOD platform across mobile, web and smart TV, with content-first navigation and a right-to-left design system throughout. The same discipline shapes our banking work, including the MyBLF mobile banking app, and the products we design for teams across the GCC.

ExploreFAQ
Working with UXNCO from Kuwait.
Do you have an office in Kuwait?
No. We work with Kuwaiti clients remotely from our studio in Lebanon and our team in the region, and travel to Kuwait City for discovery workshops, research sessions and key milestones. Most engagements run on a weekly rhythm of video working sessions plus on-site visits at the moments that matter.
Do you design mobile apps and websites, or only digital products?
All three. We design iOS and Android apps, websites and redesigns, and complex web platforms. We are a design studio, so we hand over production-ready designs and documentation to your developers or build partner and review the build until launch.
Can you design an e-commerce experience for the Kuwaiti market?
Yes. We research how your customers browse and buy, then design product discovery, basket, checkout and delivery tracking in Arabic and English, with the payment methods and delivery options Kuwaiti shoppers expect.
Do you work with banks and government entities?
Yes. We are used to structured procurement, security reviews and multi-stakeholder governance, and we document our process and deliverables accordingly. Tell us about your requirements early and we will shape the proposal to fit them.
How does a typical engagement start?
Usually with a two-to-six-week discovery or UX audit to set direction, followed by design in phases aligned with your delivery roadmap. Every phase has a fixed scope and price agreed before we start.
