I'm Simon Clayson and I'm a User Interface (UI) Designer specialising in Product and Services Design. I design for complex user interactions and data structures, and create comprehensive solutions that balance user, business, and technical requirements.
I can help teams, companies, and organisations deliver great user-centred experiences. I will direct, build, and maintain complex Design Systems for trust, consistency, and faster workflows.
With more than 25 years of experience working with clients, designers, and developers, I've designed and built great websites that are trusted and stand the test of time. My focus is on starting, building, and iterating great User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) experiences that are key assets to a product and organisation.
I work extensively in Figma and Zeplin, that is a key part of a continuous loop with user feedback, business and product roadmaps, and agile development cycles. I know how to build websites (HTML, CSS, Tailwind), configure a CMS (Craft CMS, Hugo, Kirby), and understand complex web technologies. I know the challenges of a modern web development environment that is constantly shifting.
