Louise Moxhay

I build interfaces that make hard things feel simple.

React, TypeScript, data viz — and a love to add whimsy and fun where I can.

About

Where design meets engineering

I'm a frontend engineer based in London with over ten years of experience building products that people actually rely on.

My favourite problems sit at the edges — wheredesign thinking meets engineering, where messy data needs to become something a person can genuinely understand. I've built:

Analytics platforms
Design systems
Chrome extensions
E-commerce stores

I've grown frontend teams from scratch, worked directly with enterprise clients, and shipped things that had to work under real pressure.

When I'm not at a keyboard I'm at a gig, a theatre, or wandering around London in search of good vegan food. I make small games in Unity on the side — partly because I love them, partly because I'm obsessed with what makes an interface feel good to use.

I'm open to contracts and full-time roles where the work is genuinely interesting and the thing being built actually matters to someone.

Previous Experience

Current Contract

Handshaik

An AI-powered platform helping founders and advisors evaluate companies for M&A. I joined early to build out the frontend — designing the component system, building customer-facing flows, and translating complex backend data into interfaces that feel effortless to use.

React
Design system
GraphQL

5 years

Scalable

Built and led the frontend of an analytics and data intelligence platform used by enterprise clients including HSBC. I joined as the only engineer and grew the team to six. Along the way I introduced TypeScript, built two Chrome extensions from scratch, established the testing culture, and owned production quality end to end.

Team grown: 1 → 6 engineers
Extensions built: 3 from scratch

Co-founder

Lucky Night Studio

Co-founded a design-led digital studio focused on women-led businesses. Built client sites in Next.js, designed and sold website templates, and delivered courses on SEO and AI tools. The Y2K Shopify theme is still one of my favourite things I've made.

Lil Byte Games

My game dev corner of the internet. I build small Unity games to learn as I go — Bug Buddy, Byte Pong, Space Shapes — all playable in browser. My first Steam release is incoming. I write about what I'm building, what I'm breaking, and what makes games feel the way they do.

Let's talk

I'm currently open to frontend contracts, particularly in product, fintech, or anything with interesting data to visualise. If you're building something you're proud of and need someone who gives a damn about the details — let's talk.
