About
Hello! My name’s Aaron Lumsden and I’m a Digital Developer at McGrath Rainey Laird in Leeds, UK. I fuss over creating interfaces that not only look and feel great but that are user friendly and adaptable to changing user needs. I specialise in creating beautiful designs that function using PHP, AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3 and have been doing so for the last four years.
I’m also an author and writer for some of the envato network websites such as webdesigntuts+ and nettus+ where you can find me writing about web standards, UI/UX design, semantics and progressive enhancement. You can also find me posting regularly on both twitter and dribbble
