Hi, I'm Aaron 👋
I am a UX Designer and Developer based in Scotland, but built for a global stage. My mission is simple: to bring my design and coding skills to projects that demand more than just a surface level fix. I build with a focus on joy, accessibility, and ease of use, ensuring that everyone who uses my work feels safe and included. Whether I am helping a project here in Scotland or working on an international scale, I’m ready to travel and ready to work.

Foundations
Expertise
Bridging the gap between UX/UI Design and Web Development to build accessible, high-quality responsive systems that prioritise user trust and ease of use.
Current Focus
Advancing my Python capabilities to build more robust back-end logic. I am focusing on integrating complex APIs such as the live football and Spotify data seen on this site to create more dynamic and data-driven experiences.
Education
BSc (Hons) Web Design & Development
I am proud of my degree and the work I put in at university but I recognise that my grade does not reflect the true quality of my work today. Since graduating I have viewed it as a stepping stone that pushed me to work even harder. I have spent my time perfecting my craft through UX challenges and iterative case studies to ensure that this portfolio represents my actual standard as a professional and a developer.
Travel
I’m at my best when discovering places I've never been. I love throwing myself into new cultures.
About Me
I am proud of my heritage and often weave it into my work, from the palette of the Saltire to subtle tartan patterns. I thrive on the challenge of design and code, holding myself to high standards while maintaining the pace needed to deliver. I have a healthy, competitive drive and always look for a win, but I recognise that true growth comes from every outcome.
Values & Beliefs
My personal and professional standards are built on being respectful, honest, and reliable to everyone I encounter. I am a friendly and adaptable person who leads with compassion and I believe that a positive and flexible environment is where the best work happens. I maintain a forward thinking mindset and recognise that while I cannot change the past I can always learn from mistakes to ensure they are not repeated. Integrity is a core part of who I am and I believe in speaking up when something is not right. I am committed to ensuring that every space I inhabit whether it is a digital interface or a workplace culture is safe and fair and rooted in mutual respect.
Interests
Art and design have always been a passion of mine and I have always focused more on the design side. Bringing that creative eye to UX and coding feels natural to me and I often see my projects as a hobby rather than just work. When I need to focus and immerse myself in a project I find that music is the perfect tool to help me stay in the zone. Outside of my work I enjoy watching films and television and I am a passionate football fan. I follow Dundee United because of my local roots and my family and I was introduced to Newcastle through family as well. My interest in Barcelona began when I watched them play Dundee United in friendlies and I have enjoyed following their style of play ever since.
