Hi, my name is Daryn. I’m a UX designer, front-end developer, and musician. With over a decade of experience in web design and development across agency and in-house teams, I’ve built a strong foundation in visual design and technical expertise.
Product design felt like a natural progression, and I now leverage research and data to make informed design decisions that create systems and experiences that are a joy to use and are both functional and engaging. I also love collaboration and learning, whether it’s exploring new design trends, technologies, history, or diving into music production.
In my spare time, you can find me cooking, making music, practicing jiu-jitsu, gardening, reading, watching movies, listening to podcasts, or playing video games.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Where Design and Function Meet.
Creativity
Creativity is at the heart of what I do—it helps me solve problems, design, and stay inspired. It's even behind the music I listen to while I work. Imagine a world without art or expression!
Technology
With technology we can turn ideas into reality, push the boundaries of communication, and solve real-world problems. We can also create intuitive and functional applications.
Magic
By blending creativity with technology, you spark innovation and create magic. That's why it's important to keep learning and stay curious about both.
Skills & tools I use.
Combining UX strategy, interface design, and front-end development to create fast, accessible, user-centred digital experiences.
