Hallo Brent, an user interface of an iOS app is not as complex as an CAD model, however, you need a bit imagination what happens on the screen. If you use prepared structures from Apple, such as table views or tool bars, this is quite easy. If you create a free-style UI, it is strongly recommended to let it check by sighted people. In case of the ColorVisor, I let a designer do the layout and some graphics. The layout, then, told me where to place the buttons and views.
