A full-time freelance designer and developer working from my home studio near to the Peak District in Staffordshire, UK.
With a passion for anything and everything related to design, I started out in the 1990s, sharpening my skills by working alongside talented creatives and quality printers with multinational as well as regional clients. The early years were devoted to graphic design – brochures, posters, advertisements, corporate identity materials – but I became more and more interested in web technologies and how to leverage them to amplify sales of products and services.
Since then, I have been studying UI/UX design, web development, server technologies and whatever new that comes along, putting my knowledge into ever-widening practice, working for agencies until 2012.
From 2013 I have been operating independently as Steve Perry Creative, I have built state-of-the-art studios in my Staffordshire home, from where I concentrate my attention on the needs of clients large and small, across many sectors.
Offering deep insight and outstanding value, I also collaborate with other specialists in order to provide a truly full-scale, results driven service. Together, we make an awesome team.
To enable me to build more secure websites and help businesses be proactive with regards to their online security, I recently studied for a GCHQ accredited Master's degree in Advanced Security and Digital Forensics at Edinburgh Napier university, alongside my work. I graduated with an MSc distinction in 2021.
Away from the desk, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors – either running, cycling, climbing, or walking. I have a great deal of experience in this niche market, reflected in my many projects for key businesses in the outdoor adventure and recreational sphere.
I strongly believe that a professional should invest in themselves to ensure that they are offering the best advice and services that they can. With this in mind I always allocate time to study so that I can pass on this knowledge to my clients. Below is a list of courses that I've completed (or currently working towards) as well as association memberships and professional partnerships.
