Hey, thanks for dropping by, I’m Paul Dowd...

A Freelance UI Designer & WordPress Developer

What I do

I design and build beautifully crafted digital products

I work seamlessly with agencies across the full project cycle

I’m a UI/UX and WordPress specialist with 23 years’ experience across hands-on design, front-end development and agency leadership. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Multimedia & Website Development and have worked my way from junior designer roles up to creative director and managing director positions at established Manchester agencies. That background taught me how to balance creative risk with commercial sense and how to deliver consistently under pressure. 

For the last six years I’ve been based in Thailand and working remotely as the lead designer for a leading US full-service agency — owning design decisions, producing pixel-perfect Figma files, building bespoke Elementor sites with custom theming and managing final production handoffs. I also create logos, brochures and campaign graphics when projects need a wider brand touch. My sweet spots are web, WordPress and UX — but I thrive on variety and on projects where I can move from strategy to delivery and be accountable for the final result.

WordPress Design & Dev

Production-ready WordPress builds using Elementor and the Hello theme — custom theming, performance-minded techniques and easy-to-manage editor experiences for clients. I build templates, dynamic content patterns and admin-friendly solutions so clients can update content without breaking layouts.

Front-end Dev

Clean, semantic HTML/CSS and JavaScript where needed — accessibility-first, well-structured and optimised for performance. I deliver code that’s easy to maintain, integrates with your dev process and passes basic SEO and speed audits.

Banners & Graphics

Campaign assets, social banners and marketing graphics that complement your digital presence. Quick turnarounds, production-ready exports and consistent styling to keep messaging cohesive across channels.

" The space you live in and the things you surround yourself with directly influence your life & work
