Code + Craft

I am a designer and full-stack developer stitching together websites, apps, CRMS, and API’s.

Having worked with national and international organisations via time in advertising agencies and design studios, I now partner with agencies, boutique businesses, charities, arts, community and social enterprises to bring their ideas to life.

I’m a company of one, so can take your project all the way from wire-framing to launch – but when necessary I can call on my close network of trusted copywriters, developers, illustrators and photographers.

I'm currently booked until mid 2022, but please still get in touch if you have an interesting project in mind.

Rapid +
Robust

Whilst bespoke development has its place, most problems can now be solved quicker, and more reliably with an ever-improving ecosystem of 'low-code' tools.

Think of low-code as a series of Lego blocks you fit together, you can quickly assemble the pieces to create a working product in days rather than weeks or months. Each of these pieces benefit from being mature products, so bugs and issues have been ironed out from day one with developers that are dedicated to that piece of your product.

Building in this fashion means I can bring robust, custom, application development to small and large enterprises alike.

Feel free to book a call and talk to me about how low code could benefit you.
