Frontend Developer (ex-Product Designer)

I help shape ideas early and implement them with precision.

About

Headshot of Richard Acquaye

I focus on building interactive, user-centred experiences that are both engaging and technically robust. Most recently at TravelDesk (part of MMGY Global), I developed interactive banner ads, carousels, and internal tools to improve production workflows and efficiency.

Before transitioning into web development, I spent over a decade as a product designer working with companies including DAZN, Sky, and Vodafone. That experience shapes how I build today. I bringing a strong eye for usability, detail, and collaboration with design teams. I’m now looking to grow within a collaborative environment while continuing to deepen my frontend expertise.
