Design, Websites & Digital Strategy
Expert guidance for growing businesses.
I help organisations build thoughtful brands, resilient websites, and the digital systems required to scale. Led by Josh Reid—with over 20 years of experience across design, development, and product leadership—I provide the creative vision and technical pragmatism your business needs to thrive.
Hi, I’m Josh Reid — I like building things that matter.
I’m a product manager, designer and developer who loves bringing clarity and craft to every project. I’ve helped founders, small businesses, and teams shape ideas, solve problems, and create brands, digital work and websites that feels effortless and true to them.
With 6 years of Product Management and 20+ years of UX, brand, and website development experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a collaborative approach that keeps the process fun, clear, and human. No drama. No jargon. Just good work, done well.
Who I work with
I partner with founders, owner-operators, and professional service firms who value quality over quick fixes. Whether you are launching a new venture or untangling a complex legacy platform, I provide the steady hand needed to ensure your digital assets remain your strongest competitive advantage.

My approach
Human first
It starts with understanding your goals, your users or customers, and the story you want to tell.
Simple is powerful
I strip away noise so the important stuff shines. Clean, calm design that feels natural to use.
Collaboration over ego
I work with you, not over you. Honest conversations, smooth process, and shared ownership of the result.

A practical approach to digital
Good digital work isn’t just about design or technology — it’s about building things that work well and continue working over time.
Whether it’s creating a new brand, launching a website, or improving an existing platform, the goal is always the same:
Clear thinking, thoughtful design, and reliable systems.
Why I do this
I started Reid Design because I love helping good people build good things.
Whether you’re refreshing a brand, designing a product, or bringing a new idea to life, my goal is simple: create work you’re proud of — and make the journey there easy, enjoyable, and clear.
If you’ve got something exciting in mind, I’d love to hear about it.
