Profile picture of Nigel Payne smiling in bright orange long sleeve t-shirt

I work embedded within a team as a freelance designer or as a one-person studio for clients.

My core strength is graphic design for the web, including prototyping and animation. I’ve designed a multitude of media. From marketing sites to mobile web apps, friendly personalised portfolios to global marketing campaigns, pitch winning presentations to interactive experiential pieces.
My main interests are digital design and Webflow development.
