Hi, I'm Steven,
Digital Designer and UI Developer based in Berkshire, UK
I've been designing and building on the web for almost 2 decades. During this time I've been either freelancing or working at software companies and design agencies, continuously expanding my skills as a designer and UI developer.
My core skills involve helping clients with design (marketing and e-commerce) through to development (design systems, headless CMS', SaaS, animation and more).
17+ years experience as a digital designer & UI developer
My main focus is on UI development, but I have a work history in design. My experience in both fields leads to better user experiences in less time.
UI Developer
I have extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS & JavaScript (ES6), experience with popular frameworks like React, and both REST and GraphQL APIs. In addition I bring curiosity, creativity and a GTD mentality.
Digital Designer
I'm able to speak the designer language and dare to make design choices while coding. This saves valuable development time, endless back and forth with designers and often looks even better than the original design. I also do not hesitate to work out something in Figma or Sketch myself.
A small selection of projects I've worked on either by myself or as a team
Each piece of work comes with a unique story that I'm proud to be a part of. Each client's online presence reaches its full potential with fantastic UX, accessibility and future-proof scaleability.

From personal sites and startups, to global businesses such as Marks & Spencer, Facebook, Sandisk, Feefo and Lowepro. I have experience across many industries of different scales.

Kind words from past clients on their experience working with me
Steven built my portfolio website for me through Wordpress. He understood my needs, and quickly implemented what I wanted, meeting my deadline launch. Steven is highly professional and conscientious in what he does, and is always willing to help. He is a great pleasure to work with and I recommend his services to all.
Excellent design from an amazing web designer! I would definitely chose Steven again to work on my design and web projects and would recommend him to anyone.
Amazing, perfect, you rock.
I met Steve online and after few messages, I knew he is the right guy to cooperate with on new projects. He easily understands what I need and is able to give me a constructive feedback, so we can clearly agree on the next steps. The websites he created for me are stunning and I am highly satisfied. Looking forward to work on the further projects with Steve.
Thanks for the great advice, thanks a bunch. I'll definitely keep in touch with you.
Excellent work, and always kept me in the loop. Hopefully we can work on other projects too.
This is beyond my expectations and provides more insight to my little site than I even knew was possible. I'm not a web developer but I feel like this audit just gave me a masterclass in it. These audits are clear, concise and packed full of useful and actionable steps to better my business. Thank you.
Steven's audit was a great deal! I have done audits before - but Steven surfaced some items everyone else overlooked. A couple of SEO issues were really low hanging fruits. I have already fixed them 1h after receiving the audit report. Highly recommended!
You did an excellent job pinpointing the flaws on my website. Your insights are eye-opening, especially regarding the environmental impact. You conducted a very detailed audit; I wasn't even aware these issues could exist. Your audit served not only as an assessment but also as a valuable learning experience, deepening my understanding of my craft. Excellent and unique service!
This is great! I love that you divided the audit into subsections and explained why each subsection matters. I'd never imagined my landing page can have that kind of carbon footprint, this was really interesting.
Thank you for everything you did for me and because I absolutely love your work! Thank you again for everything!
Thanks again!
The site is working great. Also I sent one of my friends your way, he needs some coding work done and I told him you were my new hero haha.
Do the twitter the way you think it will look the best, I trust your judgment... Awesome! run it! I'm overly excited can't you tell.
Thanks for this, I have had a look and I really really like what it is looking like. I'm so excited for it to go live.
Many thanks for all your work with this project
