Developer, designer & technology enthusiast crafting meaningful digital experiences.
I'm Phil Forster — a former Royal Air Force Survival Equipment Fitter turned frontend developer, UI/UX designer, and branding specialist. With over a decade of hands-on experience maintaining life-saving aviation gear, I bring precision, reliability, and a mission-first mindset to every project I build. After earning degrees in Interactive Media (BA(Hons)) and Computing (BSc), I’ve led software initiatives across education, heritage, and entertainment sectors — blending modern web technologies with storytelling, accessibility, and strong visual identity. I've also held leadership roles both in uniform and in industry, managing teams, mentoring junior developers, and delivering cross-functional projects with calm focus and clarity. Beyond my professional work, I contribute actively to community-led initiatives and charitable projects, including digital infrastructure and exhibit design for Morayvia, a volunteer-run aviation museum in Scotland. Whether it’s building responsive applications, shaping a brand, or designing interactive kiosks, I craft meaningful digital experiences that connect and endure.
