Available to hire
I’m Abigail Crockford, a highly creative and organised Senior Digital Designer and Front-end Developer with extensive experience delivering high-quality digital campaigns for a wide range of sectors across agency and client-side environments. I take projects from brief through to completion, including liaising with clients, quoting, project management, concept design and implementation. I create user journeys, site maps and wireframes, feeding them into front-end development to ensure the final product is accurate and exceeds expectations. I stay up-to-date with the latest design trends and tools, and I enjoy collaborating with back-end developers to deliver integrated digital solutions. Based in London, I’ve worked with high-profile clients such as Sky, Nestlé, Virgin, Lionsgate, British Airways, Paramount and San Miguel, among others.
