Hi, I'm Steven,
Digital Designer and UI Developer based in Berkshire, UK
I've been designing and building for the web for nearly two decades, working with software companies and design agencies, either as a contractor or part of the team. Throughout this time, I've honed my skills as a digital designer and UI developer, constantly evolving to meet new challenges.
My core skills span from helping clients with design (marketing and e-commerce) to development, including design systems, headless CMS, SaaS, animation, and more.
When I'm not in front of the computer I love being outdoors. In my current profile picture I'm participating in The Nuts Challenge!
18+ years experience as a digital designer & UI developer
My main focus is on UI development using JAMStack technologies, but I have a work history in design. My experience in both technical and design 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.
Brands I've worked with both personally and at agencies
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.
I have worked on a range of websites and apps for many organisations
I started my journey contracting while studying Graphic Design full time at UWL. Along the way I've worked for fantastic agencies, with amazing brands and picked up some certifications along the way.

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.
