Hello, I'm Richard. I'm a Digital Designer with a passion for creating conversion-boosting, beautiful digital experiences.

With 7 years in the design industry, I’ve refined a killer combination of creativity and conversion, transforming user needs into designs that just make sense.

I’ve had the pleasure of leading the design for household names such as NEOM Wellbeing, Clarendon Fine Art, and Elizabeth Scarlett. Additionally, I’ve collaborated with emerging startups like Big Picture Foods, Amerge, and Monday Muse to help develop and elevate their brands.

This diverse experience has broadened my knowledge across multiple ecommerce industries. My strong skill set and adaptability ensure that each brand’s voice is authentically represented and resonates with their target audience.

My passion for UX/UI design doesn’t stop at the office door. I’m a certified Figma expert, and since September 2022, I’ve proudly been the official Community Advocate for Figma Edinburgh, offering support, portfolio crits, and hosting training sessions for my fellow creatives in Edinburgh.

Booking Management Interface Design for Travel Agency

As an avid cruiser, I’ve often been frustrated with the cumbersome and outdated booking management systems used by travel agents. These interfaces are typically unintuitive, lack sophistication, and often omit crucial information.

Driven by these frustrations, I set out to design a comprehensive travel booking management app that seamlessly adapts to the needs of cruise agents.

The app prioritises a user-friendly experience, emphasising rewards, self-sufficient management, and streamlined communication with agents.

UX/UI Design and Brand Development for award-winning wellbeing brand, NEOM Wellbeing.

Although NEOM Wellbeing was originally satisfied with the look and feel of their previous website, they sought minor stylistic refinements and an enhanced user experience for their migration to Shopify. To achieve this, I collaborated with NEOM’s Global Marketing Director to refine their brand identity, adopting a modern, subdued palette that reflected their in-store experience. Given the importance of gifting in their ecommerce strategy, we aimed to enhance its visibility and integration throughout the site. I conceived the idea a one-click journey refinement feature, enabling users to shop either for themselves or for gifts, tailored to their wellbeing needs. This ensured users were directed to the specific collections that best suited their preferences.
