practice
One person, two toolkits. Hire me for either, or for the place where they meet.
design
Identities, print and interfaces, drawn on a grid and finished by hand.
Brand identity
Logotypes, type and colour, built as a kit that holds up from favicon to billboard.
- logotype
- colour and type tokens
- guidelines
- asset kit
tools: Illustrator · Figma
Print and editorial
Posters, books and printed matter, set on a grid and checked on a proof before they go to press.
- print-ready files
- layout templates
- prepress check
tools: InDesign · Illustrator · Photoshop
Interface design
Screens and components for websites and apps, specified so they survive the handoff to code.
- wireframes
- ui kit
- prototypes
- handoff specs
tools: Figma
Motion and 3D
Animated marks and product renders that explain something rather than decorate it.
- animated marks
- renders

development

Websites
Fast, accessible sites, static wherever possible and easy to update.

- hosting setup
- performance and accessibility checks
tools: HTML/CSS/JS · Git · Cloudflare
Systems and networking
Servers, networks and the configuration that holds them together, set up to keep running.

tools: Linux · Docker
Automation
Scripts and small tools that take repetitive work off people’s desks.

tools: Cloudflare · Docker · Git
IT support
Help with the machines, accounts and networks a small team depends on.
- setup and fixes
- onboarding checklist

where they meet
The logo ships as SVG and tokens.
These pages read the same tokens.
I can do the same for your brand.
process
- step 1
listen
We talk through the goal, the audience and the constraints before anything is drawn or built.
you get: a one-page brief
- step 2
draft
Sketches, wireframes or a rough prototype, early, so changing direction stays cheap.
you get: options to react to
- step 3
build
The chosen direction, finished properly: final artwork, production code or a configured system.
you get: the finished work, reviewed together
- step 4
hand over
Files, access and documentation, organised so you can run it without me.
you get: source files, docs and a walkthrough
