About the studio

A family of specialists, spread across the map.

At Khatib Designs we design and build mobile & web apps — iOS, Android and web — for clients across the GCC and around the world. Our team is formed by specialists from all over, yet we work as one family, proud to deliver world-class quality wherever a project lives.

Our story started in 2015, when the founders opened their own design and development company — one that keeps work values high and delivers exclusive, considered products to every client.

Today the studio is a constantly growing family of team members and happy clients who all believe in one thing:

What we do

App design & development
for the GCC and beyond.

From first idea to launch and beyond, we design and build the software your business runs on — native iOS & Android apps, fast web apps, and the product design behind them. One studio, end to end.

Mobile app development

Native iOS & Android apps built for performance and scale — on-demand, fintech, health, social, marketplace and enterprise products.

Web app development

Responsive web apps and dashboards — customer portals, booking systems, CRMs and internal tools that work on every screen.

UI/UX product design

Research, UX and interface design that turns complex flows into products people love to use — and that convert.

MVP & startup builds

Lean, investor-ready MVPs that get your idea into users’ hands fast — then iterate toward product-market fit.
