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!

SpaceGalaxy: Based on a university group project, where we designed and developed a fully functional flight booking system with a futuristic and space-themed interface. The project focused on simulating a real-world airline reservation experience from flight search to booking confirmation. The goal was to replicate the main functionaility of commerical flight booking platforms while maintaining an engaging and creative UI design.

Search for available flights
View flight details (destination, date, price and more).
Select and book flights
Experience a clean and interactive booking procedure
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.
Project Overview:
Applying key UX theories to real design scenarios
Filling the gap between theory and practice
Critically evaluating design decisions
Demonstrating a user-first mindset supported by research
