I'm a passionate web designer and developer with around two to three years of experience building for UK clients. I specialise in creating and optimising websites that deliver strong performance and a clear user experience — from WordPress shops and marketing sites to multi-tenant software and internal tools.

I work with B2B, B2C, and e-commerce businesses. Whether you need a new site, better automation between your tools, or a partner who can handle hosting and ongoing support, I focus on practical solutions tailored to each project.

/// Beyond the screen

When I am not in a code editor, I am often sketching in 3D — modelling and printing parts for prototypes and side projects.

I care about sites that are maintainable after handover: sensible structure, docs that match reality, and hosting you can actually reach someone about.

UK-based and happy to work remotely with businesses across B2B, B2C, and e-commerce — async updates with clear milestone check-ins.

/// FAQ

help.txt
Do you only work in WordPress?

No. WordPress is a core strength for shops and marketing sites, but I also build with React, TypeScript, and .NET when the project needs custom software, portals, or APIs. We pick the stack based on who edits content, budget, and how long the solution needs to last.

What does a typical project look like?

We align on goals and scope, I share staging early, and we iterate on layout and content before launch. You get a clear handover — access, hosting notes, and what to do when something needs updating. Ongoing hosting and support on 20i is available if you want a single point of contact.

Can you work with our designer or in-house dev?

Yes. I am comfortable implementing someone else’s designs, pairing on integrations, or owning the full stack from wireframe to deploy.

What about NDAs or work you cannot show?

Some client work stays private. I can still describe the type of problem, stack, and outcomes in conversation even when case studies are not public.

How do I get started?
