Design with a storyteller’s eye. Built to convert.
I’m a one-person web and brand studio helping purpose-led organisations and independent creatives turn “we need a new website” into a site that’s clear, confident, and easy to maintain.
I specialise in Squarespace builds and refreshes, combining thoughtful design with practical structure, SEO-ready copy support, and accessibility best practice. As a practicing artist, I also bring a storyteller’s eye to every build, thinking about pacing, emotion, and audience engagement, not just layout. The result is a site that doesn’t simply look good: it guides people, holds attention, and makes it easy to take the next step.
Clients often come to me with lots of ideas (and a lot of tabs open) but no clear path through. My process brings focus: we define your priorities, map the user journey, clarify your message, then build a clean, responsive site with strong foundations — navigation, templates, image optimisation, metadata, and an approach that supports both human readers and search engines.
I can work as your designer, your content partner, or your extra pair of hands when you’re mid-build and stuck. Expect straight talking, warm collaboration, and a site you’ll actually enjoy updating. Most of my work comes through word of mouth and client referrals.
If you want a website that tells your story with clarity and supports your next chapter I’d love to help.
