I'm Chris Aucoin,
a front end dev/UX designer.

About me

I am a UX designer, front end developer and artist based in Geneva, Switzerland where I've been living and working since 2012.

I have most recently worked as a web developer and UX/UI designer at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, where I collaborated on designing and building the organization’s website using Drupal.

I am interested in UX/UI design, user-centred design, front end development, Drupal development and producing projects with accessibility in mind.

My work

I have a background in art and design and take an interdisciplinary approach with UX and development. When designing a website, I focus on the user needs, but also keep in mind what is feasible in terms of any technical limitations while creating designs that are clean, simple and visually engaging for the user.

Some tools and apps that I am currently using:

Drupal, Docker, PHP, Twig, SASS, JS, Pattern Lab, Gulp, NPM, WordPress, Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Zeplin, Miro
