A designer who codes and a developer who designs

I'm Conor Parle, a Web Developer and Designer currently working at Initiate Digital. With a 2.1 Honours degree in Creative Computing from SETU Waterford, I've developed a unique skill set that bridges the gap between beautiful design and functional development.

What drives me is the entire creative process—taking a project from the first sketches and wireframes in Figma all the way to a live, high-performance WordPress site using tools like Elementor or Breakdance. I thrive on solving complex problems and finding elegant solutions that work for both users and businesses.

Currently, I'm expanding my expertise with a Professional Diploma in UX Design from the UX Design Institute, focusing on user research and creating truly intuitive interfaces that solve real problems.

Beyond Work

When I'm not designing interfaces or writing code, you'll find me exploring new technologies and experimenting with creative tools. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of AI and design—using tools like Google AI Studio to prototype and create innovative digital experiences.

Based in Ireland, I'm always open to connecting with fellow designers, developers, and creative thinkers. Whether it's discussing the latest web technologies, sharing design inspiration, or collaborating on interesting projects—I'd love to hear from you.
