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.

Tools & Practices
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.
Selected Projects
Pegasus Digital
Design and build agency website in Next.js, with pages for services, work and enquiries. I also implemented the Free Website Check, which uses the Google PageSpeed Insights API to check a page on mobile or desktop and show visitors practical areas to improve.
Mac Auto Services
Rebuilt the website for a Christchurch automotive workshop using React. The new site makes it easier to find information about WOFs, servicing and repairs, read customer reviews, and send a booking enquiry.
Burst Digital
Built Burst Digital's Webflow site from start to finish, handling research, UX/UI design, client communication, and final deployment.
Autistic Innovations
Designed and built a website in Hostinger Website Builder for a Christchurch-based autism coaching service. The site introduces the support available to autistic adults and the people around them, with clear paths to explore the services and get in touch.
Filtration Station
Designed and custom coded an installation landing page within Filtration Station's Shopify store. It explains how the service works, shows what customers can expect from a fixed-price quote, and gives Auckland homeowners a clear way to enquire about an installation.
Gee Wiz
Contracted by Burst Digital, I designed and built this high-converting landing page to attract pub owners and drive quiz night bookings. The design focuses on clear hierarchy, engaging copy, and conversion-driven CTAs - turning quiet midweek nights into packed tables for venues across New Zealand.
INNLIST Holiday Homes
Designed in Figma and hand-coded within Rocketspark using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to overcome platform limitations. The result is a fast, conversion-focused landing page that the client now wants to add to their main website.
Tilyard Plumbing
Custom coded landing page within Tilyard Plumbing's Wix website. The pages give visitors a focused route from learning about a service to getting in touch, while working within the client's existing site.
Travel Crush NZ
A travel blog built in WordPress and Elementor, featuring dynamic posts, pages, and archives designed for users to easily document and share their overseas adventures.
Zentry Award Winnning Website Clone
My clone of the award-winning Zentry website, which earned Awwwards Site of the Month recognition.
Splyt (Awwwards Recreation)
A creative website recreation inspired by Splyt on Awwwards. Developed with React, GSAP, and Tailwind CSS, showcasing fluid motion design and interactive storytelling.
Velvet Pour (Awwwards Recreation)
An immersive cocktail website recreation inspired by Velvet Pour on Awwwards. Built with React, GSAP, and Tailwind CSS, featuring smooth scroll animations and cinematic interactions.
Apple iPhone 15 Clone
A detailed recreation of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro website, combining GSAP animations with Three.js 3D effects for a dynamic user experience.
AI Resume Analyzer
AI-powered Resume Analyzer with React, React Router, and Puter.js! Create job listings, upload candidate resumes, and use AI to automatically evaluate and match resumes to job requirements.
