What comes next.
I help founders, businesses and creative teams turn a rough idea, an awkward workflow or an ambitious brief into something people can use. Bring the problem, the product or the possibility. We’ll work out the right next step.
Web development
A website should make your business easy to understand and your next step easy to take. I bring design and development together for responsive business websites, landing pages and more involved web applications.
The work can cover content structure, accessible navigation, mobile layouts, content management and connections to the tools you already use. Performance and technical SEO belong in the foundations, alongside a visual identity that feels like you.
Discuss your website ↗App creation
Turn a product idea into a clear journey, a working prototype and a practical development plan. I work on mobile-first interfaces, browser-based apps and the interactions that make a digital product feel intuitive.
We can explore what belongs in a first release, test the important flows and decide whether a web app, progressive web app or dedicated mobile build suits the brief. Accounts, content, integrations and the systems behind the interface are part of that conversation.
Explore your app idea ↗Technology consultancy
Sometimes the most useful thing to build first is a plan. I help teams make sense of product requirements, technical choices and the trade-offs between a quick prototype and a system they will need to maintain.
A consultancy engagement can focus on discovery, reviewing an existing product, mapping integrations or turning a broad ambition into a prioritised roadmap. The aim is a clear recommendation, an honest view of the constraints and a next step your team can act on.
Talk through a challenge ↗Full-stack systems
The interface is only part of the product. Data needs to move, users need the right permissions and failures need to be understandable. I connect front-end experiences with back-end services, APIs and internal workflows.
That can mean a custom dashboard, an operational tool or an integration between existing platforms. Validation, authentication, useful logs and maintainable code are considered together, so the system is easier to operate as well as use.
Explore the systems demo ↓Creative technology
Interactive 2D and 3D, games, generative artwork and sound can turn a passive visit into an experience. I explore how creative coding can support a product, a brand story or a tool people enjoy returning to.
The playground brings those ideas into the browser: steer a ship, build an interface, make a beat or shape a visual composition. Each experiment starts with an interaction, then connects the visual response, controls and feedback into a coherent whole.
Try the interactive playground ↑Web3 prototypes
Some ideas benefit from exploring digital identity, signatures or ownership before committing to infrastructure. I build prototypes that make those concepts tangible and help a team examine whether they serve a real user need.
Proof of Play demonstrates local signing, verification and hash-linked records. It is a browser simulation, with no live blockchain transaction or funds involved. Moving a concept into production needs its own architecture, threat model and appropriate specialist review.

Useful questions.
These are working browser experiments, built for this playground. They show ways of thinking about interactions and systems; they are not client case studies or production platforms.
Can people build it themselves?
The touch-friendly app builder explores how reusable blocks can make a complex task approachable. Similar interaction patterns can support content editors, onboarding flows and internal configuration tools.
Try the app builder ↗Can a complex process feel clear?
The six-stage delivery flow makes state changes and progress visible. That idea translates to dashboards, approval journeys and operational tools where people need to know what happened and what comes next.
Follow a payload ↗Can feedback make a tool better?
Coin sounds, streak rewards and responsive instruments explore timing and feedback. Applied thoughtfully, those details can help people learn controls, recognise success and stay oriented in an unfamiliar product.
Play Orbit Runner ↗Creative by instinct.
Technical by nature.
The best digital experiences live between disciplines. A little game design in a business tool. A little music in an interface. A lot of thought behind every interaction.
I connect design and engineering to make ambitious ideas tangible—from the first playful prototype to the systems that make it work.

From first conversation to handover
- Understand
Start with the people using it, the problem to solve, the existing setup and the constraints. Agree what a useful outcome looks like.
- Prototype
Make the uncertain parts tangible. Test the core journey and use the feedback to shape the scope before expanding the build.
- Build & refine
Develop in reviewable stages, bringing together the interface, integrations and checks appropriate to the project.
- Launch & hand over
Plan hosting, release and documentation. Agree who owns ongoing maintenance and what support is needed after launch.
05 / BEFORE WE BUILDGood questions.
Good questions.
Clear starting points.
Early-stage idea or existing product: a useful conversation starts with what you need to change.
Can you help with an existing website or app?
Yes. An engagement can start with a review of the current experience, code and integrations. From there we can identify focused improvements, work through a redesign or assess whether a larger rebuild is justified. Access, documentation and the condition of the existing system will influence the scope.
Can I start with consultancy or a prototype?
Yes. You do not need a fully written specification to begin. Discovery or a focused prototype can clarify the user journey, test an interaction and expose technical questions before you commit to a larger build.
Do I need a mobile app or a website?
That depends on how people will use it. A responsive website or web app may be the right starting point; device features, offline use and distribution requirements can point towards a dedicated mobile app. We can work through those needs before choosing the approach.
Is SEO part of web development?
Content structure and technical SEO can be part of the scope from the start: descriptive titles, useful page copy, semantic HTML, crawlable links, mobile usability and sensible performance. Search visibility also depends on your market, content and the authority your site earns over time. Rankings are not guaranteed.
Can you work with my existing hosting and tools?
Yes. We can plan around your current hosting, domain, content platform and business tools. The right delivery format depends on the system: a static website, a managed platform and an application with a back end have different requirements. Hosting access and deployment responsibilities are agreed as part of the project.
How much will it cost, and how long will it take?
Scope comes first. A single-page site, an interactive prototype and an integrated application need different levels of design, development and testing. Share your goals, existing materials, preferred timing and budget range so we can discuss a realistic starting point and the work involved.
What should I include in my first message?
Tell me what you want to make or improve, who it is for, and what a successful result would look like. Links to an existing product, a rough brief, your preferred timeline and any budget guidance help make the first conversation more useful.
Got a beautifully
strange idea?
Tell me about your website, app or technology challenge. A rough idea is enough to start; your goals, timeline and budget help shape what happens next.
