Senior UX/UI Designer & Developer

PaulWilliams.

With many years spent designing, building and marketing across a wide range of sectors and ever-evolving technologies, I bring a rare breadth of real-world experience to every project.

From startups to global brands, I've seen what works and I love putting that knowledge to work for the people and teams I collaborate with.

What I Do

UX/UI Design
Design
UX/UI · Brand Identity · Visual Strategy

Great design isn't just about aesthetics. It's about solving real problems. I take a user-first approach to every project, combining rigorous UX research with bold visual thinking to create interfaces that are both beautiful and effortlessly usable. Whether you're launching a new product, redesigning a platform, or building a brand from scratch, I bring the strategic depth of a UX consultant with the creative eye of a senior art director - and I do it without the need for a separate agency or handoff.

Web Development
Build
Front-end · CMS · E-commerce · Custom Development

From wireframe to working websites, I build it. With 25+ years of front-end development experience, I build, fast, accessible websites and platforms across WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce and custom HTML/CSS/JS, plus may other platforms (Webflow, Framer, Joomla etc). No handoff delays, no lost-in-translation moments between designer and developer - just tight, efficient execution from concept through to a production-ready site that performs as good as it looks.

Digital Marketing
Marketing
Social Content · Paid Ads · SEO · CRO · Lead Gen

Having the best website means nothing if nobody finds it. I can manage high impact Social Media content creation, Google Ads campaigns, SEO strategies, Meta Ads and LinkedIn campaigns that drive qualified traffic and measurable leads. With full visibility across the entire campaign journey - from keyword research and ad copywriting through to GA4 reporting, conversion rate optimisation and ongoing account management - I help businesses grow with confidence and clarity and transparency.

Work Experience

Freelance Frontend Designer & Developer
Contract & Consultancy
2012 — Present

Over the past 14 years I have contracted and consulted with a diverse range of companies across multiple sectors - bringing senior-level design, development, and digital marketing expertise to each engagement. Working independently means clients get direct access to the decision-maker, with no layers of account management and no diluted output.

Equally, I thrive as a strong, collaborative team member - comfortable operating at any level of a hierarchy, whether contributing as an individual specialist, embedding within an existing team, or stepping into a leadership capacity when the project demands it.
