about
Hi, I'm iain!
i like to make stuff and solve problems!
By day, I am a UX Architect and I spend my free time pretending to be a successful artist. I am drawn to both the arts and sciences, so web design was a pretty easy choice of career.
In my work, I strive to create experiences that are user friendly and engaging, while following the data to ensure a frictionless UX. When creating my designs, I lean heavily on my creative background to create imagery that compliments the brand. I love being involved with every aspect of creating a web experience: From ideation and design, to coding the interactivity, and ensuring a fully accessible experience.
I'm always looking for fun projects to work on, and I'd love to hear from you!
