Vetted Design developer in the United Kingdom
I've been a professional User Interface developer (and designer) since 2009. I have extensive experience creating Applications for Web and Mobile. In the early years of my career I specialised in **ActionScript3**, and built numerous E-Learning applications with a small team in London. I was lucky to work in such a small team, as I very quickly gained experience with **complex application logic**, as well as **programatic animation**. With the death of Flash (and thankfully the arrival of CSS3) circa 2011, I pivoted to focus on Web Development, and for many years following that I made a living creating bespoke **WordPress** websites. During that time, I refined my **CSS, SVG, and Javascript skills**, and enjoyed building visually complex sites for a variety of design agencies. In 2018, I made the transiton back to a full-time product development role (in Montreal), where I was immersed in **Agile process**, and **ClojureScript**. From 2018-2021 I worked primarily with **Re-frame and Reagent** in 2 different companies. Working with this tech stack undoubtedly made me a better software engineer, and I also came to understand the nuances of React very well. Particularly during my time at Pitch, I was able to learn from some very experienced Clojure developers, and work in a large team building an exceptional SaaS product. Bertween 2001-2002 I spent just over a year building the frontend of an Analytics product for a small startup in London. I took sole responsibilty for designing, planning and building the User Interface, and enjoyed applying my knowledge of Functional Programming to Javascript. This was a bespoke implementation utilising **jQuery** and **D3js**. I'm currently self-employed again, and on the lookout for honest and intellient people to work with! I am always excited to work on beautiful products, and to help create great digital User Experiences. Over the past year, I've worked on a few mobile projects in **Flutter,** as well as designing the UI for a fab startup in the femTech space.

Ready to hire your ideal Design developers?
Get startedArc offers pre-vetted remote developers skilled in every programming language, framework, and technology. Look through our popular remote developer specializations below.
In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.
Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a Design developer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Design developers can help keep your website up-to-date.
To hire a Design developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.
Arc offers three services to help you hire Design developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time Design developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire. Alternatively, hire the top 2.3% of expert freelance Design developers in 72 hours, with weekly payments.
If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 450,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted Design developers.
Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right Design developers for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.
There are two types of platforms you can hire Design developers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find Design developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.
If you’re looking to hire the best remote Design developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their Design developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote Design developers.
Some factors to consider when you hire Design developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.
Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find Design developers for hire.
Writing a good Design developer job description is crucial in helping you hire Design developers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Design developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
For a comprehensive guide on how to write an attractive job description to help you hire Design developers, read our Engineer Job Description Guide & Templates.
The top five technical skills Design developers should possess include proficiency in programming languages, understanding data structures and algorithms, experience with databases, familiarity with version control systems, and knowledge of testing and debugging.

Effective communication is essential for coordinating with clients and team members, while problem-solving skills enable Design developers to analyze issues and come up with effective solutions. Time management skills are important to ensure projects are completed on schedule, while attention to detail helps to catch and correct issues before they become bigger problems. Finally, adaptability is crucial for Design developers to keep up with evolving technology and requirements.
