UI/UX & Framer designer for Edinburgh
Hire a senior UI/UX & Framer designer for your Edinburgh startup
Edinburgh anchors 'Silicon Glen' — a serious fintech and university-spinout scene. Here's a senior designer-developer for product design that has to earn trust from day one.
Updated June 2026 · By Shaheer Malik, senior designer & developer
The problem I solve
- ✕Fintech products that must convey trust and handle regulated complexity
- ✕University spinouts strong on tech but lacking product and brand polish
- ✕Design and build split across a designer and a separate developer
Quick answer
To hire a UI/UX and Framer designer for an Edinburgh startup, look for one senior designer-developer fluent in fintech and spinout product design — trust-first, complexity made simple — working with full UK-hours overlap, fixed-quoted in 24 hours and live in 2–6 weeks.
How I approach it
Edinburgh is the heart of 'Silicon Glen' — a genuine fintech hub (it's a major UK financial centre) plus a steady flow of spinouts from its universities. Both need product design that earns trust quickly and makes regulated or research-heavy complexity feel simple. I work remotely with Edinburgh startups as one senior designer-developer suited to exactly that.
From fintech dashboards to a spinout's first real product and brand, I design and build in Framer or React under one roof — cohesive, no handoff. 75+ projects shipped, 4.93★ rating, with full overlap across UK working hours.
Fixed quotes within 24 hours, first designs in days, most projects live in 2–6 weeks — senior craft that helps Edinburgh founders look as credible as they are.
