About the Studio (&) the Road Here

Nine years ago this was one laptop and a lot of guessing. What happened after that is easier to show than to explain.

'17

The first build

A friend needed a site. I said yes before knowing how. Three months of questions later, it shipped — and something clicked.

'19

Going independent

First real client, first real panic. Working for yourself and working for someone else turn out to be completely different jobs.

'21

Past what I knew

A project that looked impossible on paper. It wasn't — it just needed a different approach than the one I already had.

'23

Motion became the craft

The year animation and content architecture stopped being extras and started shaping how every project gets planned.

From trust to referrals

No pitch deck, no portfolio review. Just clients telling other people to get in touch. That changed the whole shape of the business.

The road continues

Nine years in, still obsessed with the details. Currently working out where AI genuinely fits into the process — and where it doesn't.

Testimonials

From People
I've Worked with

DRAG

A genuine long-term collaborator.

Communicates clearly, moves quickly, and the work consistently comes back better than we asked for. Technical problems get resolved before they become our problem.

Client nameVP of Marketing

Thinks through the whole experience.

It isn't only the build. Motion, pacing and narrative flow all get considered together, which is why the result feels intentional rather than assembled.

Client nameFounder

Reliable, sharp and easy to work with.

Delivered on time and offered smarter solutions than the ones we brought to the table. The handover was clean and our team could pick it up immediately.

Client nameProduct Manager

Made a complex build feel simple.

We came in with a messy set of requirements and left with a structure our marketing team can actually run on their own. That was the whole point.

Client nameHead of Growth

FAQ

Got any
questions?

Because it gets you a maintainable site faster. Your team can edit content without a deploy, and the parts that genuinely need custom code still get it.

Both. I can work from your designer's files, or take it from a rough direction through to a finished, art-directed build.

That's a large part of what I do. We start with an audit of structure, performance and content model, then fix in priority order rather than rebuilding for its own sake.

A set number of hours each month, used however the site needs — new sections, campaign work, fixes, performance. Unused hours roll over up to three months.

Scope call, content and structure, design direction, build in reviewable stages, QA across devices, launch, then a support window while your team settles in.

Feedback goes in one place, gets grouped into a round, and each round is worked through in full. It keeps things moving instead of drifting.

Yes, regularly. Send yours over, or I can provide a standard mutual NDA before we get into specifics.

Book a call and describe what you're working on. If a smaller scope makes more sense than the one you came for, I'll say so.
