A user-centred frontend developer

Passionate about solving problems and bringing ideas to life on the web.

About

Headshot of Richard Acquaye

Previously, I worked as a product designer for large companies including Perform Group (now DAZN). Sky and Vodafone. Beyond creating user-centred solutions, I loved creating prototypes and micro-interactions for user testing sessions and feature demos.

I learnt Javascript in my spare time and the rest is history. After 11 years, I decided to take the leap and switch to software engineering.
