Based in Manchester, UK
Hey! I'm Callum Critchley, a Web & UX Design student at Manchester Met University and this is my Web and UX Design portfolio. Before university, I studied IT at college which gave me a great foundation in tech and now I'm focusing more on design and how to build websites that look great and function well.
I really enjoy the creative side of things especially using Figma to design clean and user-friendly interfaces. At the same time, I also like coding and bringing those designs to life with HTML, CSS and a bit of JavaScript.
Right now, I'm building up my portfolio with uni projects and side work, learning as I go and always trying to improve. Have a scroll through my work and feel free to drop me a message if you have got any questions or just fancy a chat!
FlyAwayToAmerica: A front-end travel website built using HTML, CSS and a bit of JavaScript. The project focuses on clean design, responsive layout and user-friendly navigation. Then published on GitHub as part of a UX Design & development assignment.
Riverside Guesthouse: A modern UX/UI redesign of a Guesthouse/Restaurant website built in Figma, aimed at improving usability and visual appeal across devices. I used Pinterest for design inspiration, focusing on the type of background that would fit the theme of a luxurious bar and restaurant with a lounge. This project features a simplified structure, mobile layout and high-contrast visuals.
Riverside Guesthouse: A mobile prototype of this modern UX/UI redesign of a Guesthouse/Restaurant website made in Figma. I focused on enhancing usability and the visually-appealing elements of the website. Key features included streamlined navigation, eye-catching visuals and quick access to reservations, location info and insights into the hospitality through the use of a Burger Icon, all designed to improve the user experience on the go.
UX Theories: These are a series of blog post I created as part of my Introduction to User Experience Theories assignment. Each post is a deep dive into a specific design issue or user interaction through combining theory and practice to explore real-world applications of UX Design. Each blog explains not just what I designed but why, built on evidence, theory and a user-first mindset.
