About Me

UX/UI Designer & Web Developer

Hi there, I'm Daniel, a UX/UI Designer and Web Developer based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I focus on creating digital experiences that are both easy to use and visually appealing, always putting the user first and aiming for great performance.

With experience in every stage of development, I turn ideas into reality - from doing research and sketching wireframes to building responsive, ready-to-launch websites. I like blending creativity with logic, making sure every pixel serves a purpose and every interaction feels smooth.

Whether I'm working with a team or managing a project on my own, I take pride in writing clean code, developing user-friendly design systems, and delivering user experiences that truly matter.

My Process

Project Definition

Starting with a thorough understanding of your goals, audience, and requirements to establish a solid foundation.

Planning

Next, I create a clear roadmap that covers the sitemap, technical details, and content strategy.

UX/UI Design

Then, I design wireframes and high-fidelity mock-ups that focus on great user experience while staying true to your brand.

Development

I write clean, efficient code using modern tools and best practices to ensure your site runs smoothly.

Testing

Before launch, I thoroughly test across devices and browsers to make sure everything works perfectly.

Maintenance

After launch, I provide ongoing support, updates, and monitoring to keep your site secure, fast, and up to date.
