Problem Solving
I would rather get clear on the actual pain point than rush into a feature list.

How I Work
I build useful things with people in mind.
This is the shorter version of how I work, what I like building, what I pay attention to, and a bit more about me.
How I work
I start with people.
I ask good questions early, turn pain points into clear problem statements, and build around the way people already work. I am not interested in clever software for its own sake. I want to make something useful that genuinely makes life easier.
Low-Friction
I try to cut admin, repeated steps, and awkward workarounds wherever I can.
Iterative
I ship something useful, learn from real use, and keep improving it.
Playable Project
Clankers - NYT Connections style game.
It became a full-stack product shaped by real feedback, shared scores, and a surprisingly competitive family leaderboard. That is usually how I like to build: start with people, then iterate with them.
Playable project
Clankers
A word game built to be played, shared, and argued over in the family group chat. The current version includes progression, leaderboards, and a custom frontend feel. You can jump into any live level from here.

Route Map
I built Route Map to solve a very specific problem.
I needed something that would show driving test routes clearly enough for someone in the passenger seat to guide me through them. I could not find the right tool, so I built one.
Driving Test RoutesReal-world revision tool
Route Map
I built this because I could not find an app that showed driving test routes clearly enough for someone in the passenger seat to guide me through them. It solved a very specific problem in a simple, practical way.
Interactive mapRoute guidanceProblem-led UX
What it shows
A practical route-learning tool with map-led guidance, clearly presented steps, and a layout built around how the person using it actually needs to move through the route.
Landing Page Examples
Example landing pages.
Some older client sites are no longer live, so these examples show the kind of structure and tone I have refined over nearly eight years of building for musicians, startups, and creative teams.
For musicians
Musician Landing Page
A landing page structure for artists who need personality, releases, and one clear next step without feeling over-designed.
- Artist-led hero
- Release highlights
- Listen or booking CTA
For startups
Startup Landing Page
A startup page built to explain an idea quickly, frame the value properly, and support the first real conversation.
- Clear value proposition
- Feature framing
- Strong conversion focus
For theatre companies
Theatre Landing Page
A page structure for theatre companies that need personality, production info, and audience action without slipping into corporate language.
- Production highlights
- Company voice
- Ticket or contact CTA

Contact
If you have an idea, a rough brief, or a messy process, email me.
I work best on collaborative projects that can change as the problems become clearer. If you are local, we can go for coffee. If not, remote works just as well.
Tell me what you are building, what feels clunky right now, or what you want to improve. Small projects are fine, and so are the ideas that might turn into something much bigger.
