A little bit about me

Leeds based Freelance Designer Neil Holroyd

About me

With more than 30 years experience designing for brands, print and digital services and experiences, I bring a deep understanding of web design, UI design, interaction design, user centred design, accessibility and overall user experience as well as a deep understanding of brand and print. 

I have had the privilege of working for digital startups through to public sector and global banking organisations. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with content designers, service designers, user researchers and business analysts, to help deliver user-centred design solutions.

I am friendly, proactive, calm and nice to work with and love to build lasting relationships. I especially thrive working on big and complex projects with clear goals and measureable outcomes.
