Fiona Burns - UX​/​UI Design

Hi, I’m Fiona! I'm a UK-based freelance UX​/​UI designer specialising in marketplaces. I work with founders who are building on Sharetribe and want help designing a marketplace that works seamlessly in the real world, and looks beautiful. That includes no-code Sharetribe configuration, as well as UX​/​UI design for marketplaces that are extending their product with custom features and custom development. I’ve been designing digital products for over 10 years, and for the past 5 I’ve focused almost entirely on marketplaces. I’ve designed core marketplace flows like onboarding, listings, search, pricing, availability, checkout, and post-purchase experiences many times over so I’m very familiar with the patterns, trade-offs, and edge cases that tend to show up. I’ve also been in your shoes. I founded and ran my own Sharetribe marketplace (which has since closed), so I understand first-hand the pressure of making the right product decisions with limited time, budget, and information. That experience heavily shapes how I work. I’m practical, honest, and focused on helping you build what actually matters right now, without overcomplicating things. A few important things to know about how I work: - I’m not a developer, and I don’t write custom code myself - I’m very comfortable working alongside developers - I help you think through requirements, flows, edge cases, and system behaviour so custom features are well-defined and buildable - I work independently as a freelancer so you’ll always be working directly with me If you’re looking for someone who understands Sharetribe deeply, thinks like a marketplace founder, and can help you design a clear, scalable product, I’d love to chat.
