About Me

The history of how I got here.

Over the last 7 years has seen me grow as a UI / UX Designer working within various high performing companies in Tech, Nutrition and Sports, while additionally working directly with clients.

Through these experiences I developed a notice for User Centred design and its impact on businesses growth. Putting more focus towards web and product design, specifically eCommerce and service based companies. I have learnt the fundamentals of working with stakeholders, organising project timelines, outlining user journeys, building wireframes, holding feedback meetings, delivering final products and conducting handovers with developers to produce the best possible result for clients. Revising data after projects are complete, allows to deliver products that are customer focused.

While playing a major role throughout the rebrand of Bulk Powders to Bulk™, developing efficient design systems to streamline the process of designing emails, and being a part of new product launches to deliver informative landing pages and more. I understood how well thought out customer-centred designs can impact the business ability to convert leading to financial gains.

Core areas of focus within my role were, to ensure emails maintained consistency of customer-centred design, while also continually developing on the site’s user experience to increase company metrics.

Testimonials

Clients feedback is important to us

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Avalon across a variety of brands and am always blown away by not only the quality of his work, but the flexibility and open mindedness he approaches each project with. There is a reason I have contracted him at every single business I've worked in which is crying out for a UI/UX expert.

I am a perfectionist admittedly and I can be a bit difficult to work with, but what I love about Avalon is that every piece of feedback is responded with logic and research. If I think something will look or perform better, he'll respond with why he believes X or Y would be better suited and I can never argue with the reasoning, he knows his stuff."

“He's been a huge part of our Digital team for a couple years now, playing a big role in moving us from Bulk Powders to Bulk we see today. From emails to banners to landing pages and everything in between.

More than that he's been a great guy to have around and I know he'll be missed. I want to thank him for everything he's contributed to Bulk and wish him the best as he moves into freelance and all round creative work."

It is visually appealing, professional, easy to navigate, and, responsive – everything we asked for in regards to design was perfect.
