I’m a multidisciplinary creative with a love for design, code, and intelligent automation. My work sits at the intersection of creativity and technology, switching between the two is what keeps it interesting.
Problem-solving is what drives me. Sometimes that’s designing AI workflows, sometimes it’s building small tools, or just finding ways to make systems run smoother.
I care about creating things that are functional, but also feel good to use. Better, smarter, safer. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Momentum matters to me. I believe in progress through consistency whether it’s coding, reading, learning, or running. It doesn’t need to be huge; it just needs to keep moving forward. Curiosity and motion are what push my work.
This website is a reflection of that. A collection of the industries, technologies, and projects I’ve worked on shaped by steady, incremental progress.
Starting Out
I started in 1999, writing applications in QuickBASIC and booting into MS-DOS on old beige hardware. Back then, building text editors and small tools was just a hobby, long before I had internet access. Design caught my attention too. First in MS Paint, then in Fireworks MX, where I created graphics and assets for whatever I was building.
Around the same time I began exploring HTML, building simple, table driven web pages. I didn’t know it then, but those experiments were the foundation of becoming both a designer and a developer.
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Over time I created hundreds of QuickBASIC tools, small designs, and basic websites, plus a few games using ActionScript 2 in Flash. Slowly, design and programming stopped being separate interests and started working together.
Professional Projects
Across the past 15 years, I’ve designed and built digital experiences for organisations of every size – from grassroots community projects and independent creatives to international enterprises and global brands. My work spans static websites, custom WordPress platforms, eCommerce systems, and complex web applications built with frameworks like Laravel and React.
I’ve delivered projects for sectors as diverse as travel, finance, technology, engineering, retail, lifestyle, and healthcare. Along the way, I’ve created bespoke eCommerce platforms capable of handling thousands of products, built secure health registries with strong authentication, and designed intuitive interfaces for large-scale enterprise systems.

Canicross, Trail running, Road Running.
Following painted lines on the pavement, weaving through forst and woodland, or bounding ahead with my dogs at my side – running has a way of enhancing everyday life.
Each breath feels crisp and sharp when heading out before sunrise in –5 °C cold air. We run along narrow woodland trails early in the morning. It’s a simple joy, just me and Cooper (my Labrador).
Signing up for winter series events has made these runs even better. We push ourselves while completing races across the country, in the Midlands, the Lake District, Norfolk and Suffolk, and more. Canicross season lasts between November and April, and the atmosphere is always great.
Road and trail running are mixed up, making road running more accessible in warmer weather.
Cycling
Cycling has been a big part of my life for a long time. I’ve ridden over 20,000 kilometers and over 1000 hours.
Early mornings when the roads are still quiet, late evening spins when the light starts to dip, or even on a turbo trainer or Zwift, I ride solo most of the time, and that space to think is something I’ve come to really value.
