Hey! I'm Matt Dempsey, a London based freelance User Interface and User Experience designer for the web.

I love working with small, excited, focussed startups with big ideas. Preferably on relatively small products where I can afford the time to really sweat the details. I'm passionate about simplicity, ease of use, aesthetic beauty and improving the lives of others through great design. If your passions align with mine and your promising startup is bootstrapped or yet to be funded, sometimes I'll consider working partly or wholly for equity.

I currently work part time with an awesome startup called Camayak. We're revolutionising collaborative journalism for newsrooms around the world. As a result I'm not looking for any full time offers right now.

If you're just looking for advice on how to improve your user experience, I offer a service where I'll explore your app/website in-depth, as well as any competitors, then spend a couple of hours detailing my suggestions via a Skype call, screencast or written document. I try to avoid the word 'consulting', but that's essentially what it is.

I work with clients remotely all over the world, so don't be shy if you're worried about timezones. I'm pretty fanatical about the importance of effective communication and pride myself on being easily accessible and easy to work with no matter where you're located. Please do get in touch, I'd love to hear what you're working on!

If you think we'd work well together, feel free to email me!

If you're looking for a full-time designer or someone with a different skillset, I'd recommend posting a job on AuthenticJobs.com, it's where the best designers look for work.
