Need a senior designer you can rely on without the overhead of a full-time hire? I work with agencies as a trusted partner, slotting into your team and delivering work your clients will be proud of.
I have spent the better part of a decade working inside digital agencies, so I know how they operate. I understand briefs, I work to agency timelines, I communicate clearly with clients, and I produce handover files that developers can actually build from. You get the quality of a senior designer without managing another full-time salary.
Experienced and trustworthy
I have been working in and around digital agencies for over a decade, across design lead, senior designer, and freelance partner roles. I know how agencies work, how clients think, and how to deliver work that makes everyone look good. You are not taking a chance on someone unproven.
Versatile capabilities
Most agencies need a designer who can cover more than one discipline without having to bring in multiple specialists. I cover web and UI design, design systems, brand application, illustration, and motion. One person, one point of contact, fewer moving parts for your team to manage.
Long-Term partnership potential
The agencies I work with best are the ones I build an ongoing relationship with. Over time I get to know your clients, your standards, and the way you like to work. That familiarity makes every project faster and smoother. I am not looking for one-off jobs — I want to be the designer you call first.
Featured work
A selection of work delivered through agency partnerships and direct client engagements.
Web and UI design, design systems, branding, illustration and motion. Whatever your clients need, I can deliver it under your agency’s banner.
Tools & Apps
Web Design
Web strategy, information architecture, responsive design, and full WordPress theme builds. I design sites that are built to perform from a usability and SEO perspective, and produce handover files that developers can actually build from without constant back and forth.
UI design for web applications and digital products, from wireframes and user flows through to production-ready Figma files. I work from research outputs to design interfaces that balance visual quality with usability, and prototype key flows for stakeholder sign-off before build begins.
Figma-based component libraries, design tokens, and documentation that keep large UI projects consistent and scalable. I build systems that designers and developers can actually use, and I am happy to train client or agency teams to work with them independently.
Custom digital illustration, character and mascot design, UI animation, Lottie files, and explainer videos. I design motion as part of the experience rather than something layered on at the end, which means it feels intentional rather than decorative.
I understand how a brand needs to feel in a digital context, not just how it looks on a style guide. I work confidently within existing brand guidelines while finding ways to push and elevate the expression — making sure a complex site feels cohesive and on-brand throughout, not just on the homepage.
I have led design teams and managed multi-stakeholder projects at agency level. I communicate clearly, flag issues early, and keep things moving without needing to be micromanaged. Available for Slack, project tools, client calls, or however your agency prefers to work.
I work quietly in the background or front-facing with your clients, whatever suits the engagement. I’m comfortable in client meetings, on Slack with the dev team, or heads-down on a deadline. The goal is always the same: make your agency look good.
“Ash’s professional approach and experience allow him to seamlessly collaborate with both our team and our clients. His ability to deliver exceptional work across various disciplines has consistently impressed clients, who always rave about his creativity and professionalism. We couldn’t ask for a more reliable team player.”
Josh Hall Art Director @ MKTG Sports + Entertainment
“Working with Ash is always a pleasure. His expertise in CSS and JavaScript animation libraries add a polished touch to projects. His handovers are clear and thorough, and he’s great to collaborate with during a build to keep everything on track. It’s rare to find someone with such a strong grasp of both design and development.”
Rao Abid Ali Lead Developer @ BJM Digital
“We’ve been working with Ash for years now and he never disappoints. His wealth of web and UI experience has been invaluable to our digital offering, and clients love him for it. He brings an extra layer of craft and polish to everything he touches.”
Chris Harris Creative Director & Founder @ Redkite.Design Agency
“Working with Ash was one of those rare experiences where the work comes back better than you imagined. His ability to bring motion and storytelling into a digital experience is genuinely impressive, and he does it without making it feel overdone. Real craft.”
Lee Mate Head of Digital @ Excite Media Agency
“Ash is the definition of a pro. His creativity is consistent, industry-leading, and bang on time. Clients love when Ash is at the helm; he always listens intently where you feel totally heard, all the while his capabilities and understanding give total confidence in the design direction and execution of every project.”
Alex Power Senior UX Designer @ GS1 Australia
“Working with Ash as a fellow designer was a great experience. He understood the brief quickly, worked confidently within the existing brand, and produced work that genuinely elevated what we had. His handovers were clean and well-considered, which made the whole process feel collaborative rather than transactional. I’d work with him again without hesitation.”
Lester Quong Product Designer @ TIG Freight
“Ash made the whole process straightforward from start to finish. He took the time to understand what TIG needed, asked the right questions, and came back with a site that genuinely reflects who we are as a business. Communication was clear throughout and the end result has made a real difference to how we present ourselves online.”
Tristan Johnstone Marketing Manager @ TIG Freight
“Ash was a strong addition to the ThreeScoops team. He operates at a senior level across web, UI and brand, and consistently delivered work that clients were genuinely excited about. He fits into an agency environment naturally, takes direction well, and brings his own ideas to the table when it counts. Reliable, talented, and great to work with.”
PC Le Roux Art Director @ ThreeScoops Creative
“From a developer’s perspective, Ash is exactly who you want designing the things you have to build. His files are well-organised, his components are logical, and he actually understands how things get built. He’s easy to collaborate with during a build and always open to a conversation if something needs to be adjusted. It genuinely makes the development process smoother when Ash has done the design work.”
Lluis Mioche Grases, Senior Developer @ BJM Digital
“Ash was a core part of the BJM Digital team for six years and his contribution to the agency was significant. He brought a level of craft and consistency to every project that clients noticed and appreciated, and he played a real role in helping us grow our digital offering. He’s the kind of designer who takes ownership of his work and makes everyone around him better. I’d recommend him without reservation.”
Ben McIntyre, Director @ BJM Digital
“Ash is one of the most reliable designers I have worked with. He hit his deadlines, communicated clearly, and consistently produced work that clients got excited about. The feedback we received from clients about working with Ash was always positive, which says a lot.”
Matthew Woods, Digital Optimisation @ DuluxGroup
“Working with Ash was straightforward in the best possible way. He understood briefs quickly, delivered work that rarely needed significant revision, and clients genuinely enjoyed working with him. We regularly got unsolicited positive feedback from clients about Ash specifically, which is not something you can say about every designer.”
I work with creative, digital, and marketing agencies of all sizes across Melbourne and Australia. Whether you need someone to handle overflow work, take on a specific project, or embed as a senior designer for a longer engagement, I can fit around how your agency operates.
How do you integrate with an existing agency team?
I have spent years working inside digital agencies, so I understand the pace and expectations. I can join Slack, work within your project management tools, attend client calls, and produce work that fits your agency’s style and standards. Most clients tell me I feel like part of the team from day one.
Can you work directly with our clients?
Yes. I am comfortable presenting work, running workshops, and managing client feedback directly. If you would prefer I work behind the scenes as a white-label partner, I can do that too. Whatever suits the engagement.
What web and UI design services can you provide for agencies?
Web strategy and design, UI and product design, design systems, Figma component libraries, WordPress theme builds, responsive design, WCAG accessibility compliance, and front-end handover. I also cover brand application, illustration, and motion design where needed.
How do you handle project timelines and deadlines?
Reliably. I have been delivering agency work to tight deadlines for over a decade. I flag issues early, communicate clearly, and do not let things slip without a conversation first. I know how much a missed deadline costs an agency.
What are your rates for agency partnerships?
I work on a day rate or project rate depending on the engagement. Get in touch and I can give you a clear quote once I understand the scope. I am open to ongoing retainer arrangements for agencies that need consistent design support.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, without hesitation. Confidentiality is standard practice for agency work and I am happy to sign NDAs before any project details are shared.
What makes working with you different from hiring another freelancer?
Senior-level experience across web, UI, brand and motion — not someone who specialises narrowly. I understand the full build process from strategy through to developer handover, which means fewer revisions, fewer miscommunications, and work that actually gets built the way it was designed.
