About Me

I'm Lyle Krieger, a UI/UX Designer based in Cape Town with 14+ years in the digital industry.

I started as a Web Designer, building sites from the ground up. Layout, typography, CMS platforms, responsive behavior back when "mobile-friendly" was still a differentiator, not a baseline. That hands-on foundation taught me how digital products actually work under the hood, not just how they look.

Over the last several years, that grounding evolved into a focus on UI/UX: understanding the person on the other side of the screen, not just the screen itself. I now approach design as a problem-solving process. Research, structure, iteration, rather than a finished visual. The eye for craft never went away; it just learned to ask "why" before "how."

I've worked across CMS platforms, custom builds, client-facing projects, and design systems styled for development teams, which means I design with a realistic sense of what's buildable, not just what's beautiful.

I'm passionate about creating digital experiences that are both intuitive for users and genuinely effective for the business behind them and after 14 years, I still enjoy the process as much as I did on day one.

01

UI Design
From wireframe to working prototype

Wireframing has been part of my process since day one, evolving from Photoshop and in-browser design into a tool set built for speed and precision: Figma (my go-to), Adobe XD, and Sketch, with Photoshop still in the mix when a project calls for it. I work across the full spectrum low-fidelity through high-fidelity to interactive prototypes.

02

UX Design
Decisions backed by real data

I use a design thinking process, adapted to fit each product rather than applied as a template. That means personas, journey maps, usability testing, and feedback sessions, backed by tools like Hotjar to validate decisions with real user data rather than assumptions.

03

Web Design
Built from the ground up

12+ years designing and maintaining websites across multiple CMS platforms. I work end-to-end, from design through to development comfortable in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with Bootstrap for rapid builds. Starting my career here means I design with a real understanding of what's behind the screen, not just what's on it.

04

Graphic Design
A sharpened secondary skill

Trained at art college and originally on CorelDRAW, graphic design isn't my main focus, but it's a skill I've sharpened out of necessity and picked up further from working alongside graphic designers. When a project needs it, I can take it on with confidence.
