About · Designer and engineer

I design websites, then I build them.

I started in frontend, where design and code meet, and I have spent six years building products used by a lot of people. Now I work directly with small businesses and brands, from the first sketch to the site going live and staying healthy.

How I work

4 habits

You talk to the person doing the work

No account manager in between. Questions get answered by whoever is writing the code.

Real previews every week

A live link from week one, so feedback lands on the real thing, not a static mockup.

Fixed scope, fixed price

The quote lists what is in and out. Changes get priced before they are built.

You own everything

Domain, hosting and code are in your name. If you ever leave, you take it all with you.
