Summary
Harry Cresswell is a London-based designer and front-end developer with 10 years’ experience building fast, accessible, content-first websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. He combines user research, sketching and wireframing with production-ready prototyping in both design tools (Figma, Sketch) and code, and has led UX/UI and design system work for teams using Gatsby, React and Sanity. As a freelancer and founder he delivers end-to-end projects—from strategy and copywriting to Shopify front-ends and JAMstack builds—while championing privacy and web performance.
