React, TypeScript and modern CSS, with real attention to motion, state and detail.

Deeply invested in the experience — the small interactions are where it’s won.

Signal

Former moderator on the Framer community forum — helping people solve real React and prototyping problems.

Simon is a highly motivated, forward-thinking designer who brought real energy to the team. He was always first to explore new tools and smarter ways of working — and he didn’t keep that knowledge to himself. Dependable, hard-working and proactive, he got stuck into the detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Simon quickly became my first point of contact for anything beyond my knowledge and scope. His clear guidance, detailed explanations and patience made my onboarding really welcoming — I knew early on he’d be the go-to person to get things done.
