Robert Brown
Designer & Developer
Currently available for freelance, contract, and full-time remote work — open to roles across design, front-end development, UX, product design, and project management.
My work spans brand identity, UI and UX design, print and digital marketing, and front-end development. I've worked with global organisations and fast-moving teams across retail, hospitality, travel, and tech — bringing the same level of craft and attention to detail whether it's a logo, a design system, or a production-ready website.
My background sitting across both design and development means I speak both languages fluently. I work in Figma, build in HTML/CSS/JS, and care as much about the handover as the headline design. Whether working solo or alongside marketers, developers, or product teams, I focus on delivering work that holds up — visually, technically, and in the hands of real users.
Experience
Mr Zen is a travel-focused web development agency building digital products for the tourism and hospitality sector. Working across design and front-end development, I took projects from concept to code — keeping design intent intact from the first wireframe through to production build.
Key Achievements
- Designed and prototyped user interfaces in Sketch and Figma for travel and hospitality clients, refined through stakeholder feedback cycles to sign-off.
- Developed responsive front-end solutions using HTML, CSS, SCSS, LESS, and JavaScript within established technical frameworks.
- Collaborated with the Lead Developer on PHP builds, integrating design specifications seamlessly into production.
- Created comprehensive design handover documentation and systems, streamlining the design-to-development process across the team.
Shopto is one of the UK's leading independent gaming and entertainment eCommerce retailers. Starting in a design capacity, I worked closely with the lead marketing team to shape the site's visual direction — producing weekly campaigns and banner work before gradually taking on more front-end development responsibility over time.
Key Achievements
- Collaborated with lead marketing to design and deliver weekly site updates, promotional banners, and campaign visuals.
- Designed and produced promotional campaign materials for Shopto using official asset packs provided by major publishers including Rockstar Games, Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo, and 2K Games — working within strict brand and IP guidelines throughout.
- Designed and developed promotional microsites and campaign landing pages in line with marketing objectives.
- Created social media and email marketing assets across platforms using Mailchimp.
- Grew into front-end development across a high-traffic eCommerce environment, building proficiency in HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript through hands-on project work.
- Produced digital assets via advanced image retouching, maintaining consistently high graphic standards across all channels.
Elateral specialises in brand automation and localisation technology, helping global enterprises adapt and distribute marketing content at scale. I worked within their platform to produce localised campaign assets for some of the world's most recognised FMCG, hospitality, and beverage brands.
Key Achievements
- Executed localised campaigns for multinational stakeholders using Elateral's proprietary localisation platform, adapting creative across languages, regions, and formats.
- Applied and maintained robust brand guidelines across global campaigns, ensuring consistency across every market and touchpoint.
- Designed and produced hotel stationery, promotional materials, animated banners, and a wide range of digital and print collateral.
IDT Systems is a specialist print and production company operating large-format 3D dye sublimation equipment for eCommerce fulfilment. I managed the day-to-day production workflow, keeping output quality high and operations running smoothly.
Key Achievements
- Ran high-volume dye sublimation production on large-format Epson equipment, maintaining precision and consistency across print runs.
- Optimised production workflows and maintained specialist equipment to ensure top-quality output.
- Supported major eCommerce fulfilment operations, working to tight deadlines at scale.

Got a project in mind, or just want to talk through an idea?
Whether that's embedded in a product team, working contract with an agency, or taking on freelance projects independently — I'm open to how that looks and happy to talk.
