About Me

Steven Aerts

Web Designer & Front-end Developer

I'm a passionate and flexible web designer with over 20 years of experience creating websites, design systems, and digital identities for businesses of all sizes. I specialize in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I'm fluent in modern frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue. I stay current with the latest web standards and design trends, and I love turning great ideas into clean, scalable front-end code.

Over the years, I've worked as a freelance web designer in advertising and communications agencies, giving me deep insight into what makes digital projects work—creatively and technically. I enjoy brainstorming new concepts, designing sharp interfaces, and translating them into functional components. I also build and document reusable components using tools like Storybook, ensuring everything is tested, consistent, and developer-friendly.

While I consult on design systems—creating or optimizing them from scratch—I also get hands-on in the code. I'm experienced in Figma, design tokens, and style-dictionary, and I bring a solid eye for design to every stage of the process.

As someone who can speak both design and development fluently, I work seamlessly across teams and make communication feel effortless.

Open to freelance and contract roles, both short-term and long-term.
