ABOUT

DETAILS

My name is David Jones and I’m a freelance digital designer based in Hull, UK. I specialise in website design, whether it’s crafting pixel perfect interfaces, putting together a design library to assist the development process, creating low fidelity wireframes or building a website in Squarespace.

Since completing a BA Hons Web Design Degree at Lincoln University, I've worked with large scale organisations, creative agencies and start-ups over a ten year period. As well as offering website design as my main speciality, I also work across branding, print design, photography and other areas of focus.

When I'm not at my desk designing, I enjoy taking photographs, travelling to new cities, attending football games and running a 35mm film photography page called Hull City On Film on X (Twitter) and Instagram.

FAQS

WHAT IS YOUR PRICING?

I have a daily, weekly or monthly rate. Projects that are over a month have a reduced rate for the longer scale of time that you'll be utilising my services. For my price list, drop me a message and I'll send it through.

Do you work in-house?

Yes. The majority of my projects are based remotely but I'm always open to working in-house or on a hybrid basis within the UK.

What Is your process?

1) DISCOVERY
I study what the client needs through a set of requirements. Discussing what the business goals are, what problems they may have faced and setting clear objectives for the project.

2) DESIGN
Following the discovery phase, I put what I have gathered into practice. Producing designs in Figma by utilising a design system for a consistent approach throughout the design, allowing for a swift turnaround.

3) REFINEMENT

Once the design is in a position for review, I setup a call to demo what has been produced. I do this by running through Figma prototypes for each area of focus. This allows the client to add comments and give any feedback on the design and helps the project move forward.

4) HANDOVER
Once a project has been signed-off, I prepare everything ready for the handover. Sending over any relevant Figma file(s) and supporting documentation.

Do you follow agile methodologies?

Yes. The majority of my previous roles have been within teams and organisations that operate in Agile working environments.

CAN I get a copy of your CV?

Yes. You can download a copy of my CV here.
