About me

Hey! I'm Amy Rogers (she/her) and I am a designer and front-end developer from Guildford, England. I've been designing professionally since 2015 but I've built and coded websites for myself since my teens.

Background

My career started with a UX internship during my final year at university. I learned about building digital products with input from the people using them and I was hooked from day one. From there I worked as a product designer at an agency in London and at Yoti before starting my freelance journey in early 2020.

As a freelancer I worked with a range of companies and studios, typically as a sole designer on smaller, agile teams. I loved leading direction on projects and working with people that trusted me to get on with the good work.

At the start of 2025 I made a career shift into front-end development. The team at Vouchsafe have taken me on-board as their lead design engineer, where I'll be helping to shape how their app looks and behaves as the company grows.

Projects

In 2022 I launched my studio, Gubbins. I work on projects that combine my generalist skills and share how I do this to educate and inspire others. I love that I can help people with a wide range of things from illustration and newsletter design to making jewellery and merch.

I became a certified Notion consultant in 2023, one of only a handful in the UK. I love showing people how they can get the most out of Notion. I've spoken at multiple Notion events and I'm an ambassador for the Notion London community.

Trivia

• My go-to hobby is video games. Particularly a cosy game or something I can pick up for a couple of hours and drop again. My current obsession is Balatro.
• I love a good murder mystery. Whether that's a classic Agatha Christie story or an obscure visual novel like the When They Cry games.
• Before keto my favourite food was sushi. Now I can't get enough of Babybels.
• I have a couple of tattoos and I'd love even more!
• I know all the original Pokemon but my high score on this quiz is 147. It's really hard to remember them under pressure!

Contact

I'm not available for full time or contract roles, but I do bits and bobs through Gubbins if I have the time. You can email me at hello@amyrogers.design if you have questions about potential talk/event opportunities.

I'm also quite active on both Bluesky and LinkedIn if you fancy a chat. ☕
