Dave Smyth Studio

About Me

I’m an independent designer creating low-carbon and privacy-respecting digital experiences.

I care about making digital experiences inclusive, accessible and sustainable, and my design approach is backed by years of experience in frontend development.

Since 2013, I’ve delivered over 200 digital projects across a wide range of clients and sectors. I’ve been working with Statamic since 2019, creating everything from extensive marketing and documentation sites (including statamic.dev) through to microsites and resource libraries.

1% of my annual turnover is donated to charities that work to benefit the environment or end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

How we can work together

I provide UX/UI design services, partnering with developers to finish design in the browser. I can either work on a project, time-bank or retainer basis.

I don’t normally take on development-only or research projects, but I’m happy to work with a UX researcher.

Principles

• Design, content and development should work together. When they do, the result is clearer, faster and more accessible. It’s better all-around.
• It’s not enough to be low-carbon, we should build in way that respects user privacy. If our work is environmentally-friendly, but we send user data to companies with poor privacy practices, we have no credibility.
• User experience and organisational goals go hand-in-hand. Both sets of needs can work together, promoting each other for a result that works for everyone.
