Considered websites, built to work for your business.
From straightforward marketing sites to more complex websites and web applications, I design, develop and improve solutions that perform well today and can evolve with your business.
Whether you're starting from scratch, replacing an ageing website or need someone dependable to take ownership of an existing one, I can help.
Better, connected systems. Simpler ways of working.
From awkward spreadsheets and repetitive processes to ageing software and disconnected tools, I help businesses find better ways of working.
Whether that means improving what you already have, introducing an established platform or designing and building something bespoke, I'll recommend a practical solution that fits your business — and help put it into practice.
From good ideas to useful, working products.
I help founders and businesses turn ideas into products people can actually use. From understanding the opportunity and deciding what to build, through design, development and launch, I can support a particular stage or take responsibility for the whole journey.
Whether you're starting something new, improving an existing product or need experienced support to get a struggling project back on track, I bring practical product leadership and hands-on technical expertise.
// ABOUT
I've spent the last 15 years working across software development, digital product design and technical leadership. I've built websites and applications, led development teams and taken responsibility for delivering complex digital products.
My experience includes working on national clinical audit programmes such as NACEL (opens in a new tab) and CVDPREVENT (opens in a new tab), where reliable technology, complex data and the needs of different users all come together.
That experience has taught me that technology is only useful when it solves the right problem. Sometimes that means building something new. Other times, it means improving an existing system, simplifying a process or making better use of the tools already available.
I work across the whole process, from understanding what a business needs through to design, development and delivery. My approach is straightforward: understand the problem, recommend what's appropriate and take responsibility for making it happen.

// HOW I WORK
Every project is different, but the principles stay the same. Understand the problem, find the right approach and make it happen.
We start with a conversation about what you're trying to achieve. No obligation or assumptions about the solution.
I'll help clarify the problem, explore the options and recommend a practical way forward.
Once we've agreed the approach, I'll take responsibility for putting the solution into practice.
Optional ongoing support and improvements, or a clear handover for you to manage independently.
// CONSIDERED AI
I use AI where it can genuinely improve the quality, efficiency or outcome of a project. But it doesn't replace understanding the problem, making sound decisions or taking responsibility for the result.
// TRUSTED PARTNERS
I have a trusted network of specialists covering PPC, copywriting, graphic design and IT support. When a project needs skills beyond my own, I can draw on the right expertise without adding unnecessary complexity.
// CASE STUDIES
From a Christmas order form to a connected e-commerce platform.
Websites
From a distinctive brand to a dedicated neuroinclusion platform.
Systems
Turning complex national clinical data into a usable digital product.
