Biography
My name's Ben Wilkes, I'm a Web and Media professional based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I graduated from the Edinburgh Napier University in June 2018 with a Degree in Web Design & Development (with distinction).
Currently employed at ShareIn and working a fully remote, hybrid role - splitting my working day between product design and front-end development.
I'm also still registered as self-employed and might be interested in taking onboard some part time design work in my evenings & weekends. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss working together.
Outside of working hours, I like to keep in shape by spending a few nights at the gym during the week and playing amateur 11-a-side football at the weekends. Depending on the weather, I’m also a keen mountain biker, snowboarder, skateboarder or amateur mechanic.
