— 02 / Approach

How I actually work.

Most agency projects die in handoffs. Mine don't, because there are none. You talk to me on Monday, see the prototype Friday, and ship when it's ready — not when six calendars align.

  1. One head, full context.

    I do the design, the frontend, the backend, the integrations, the launch. Every decision has seen the whole picture before it got made — because the same person made all of them.

  2. Systems, not pages.

    A website that looks great but can't talk to your inventory or your ops stack is half-finished. I build what's behind the screen: APIs, sync jobs, the internal tools your team actually uses.

  3. Weeks, not quarters.

    Modern tooling and AI-augmented workflows, used seriously. Not as a marketing line — as the reason a two-month build now takes three weeks, without anyone cutting corners on craft.

  4. Honest scope, honest pricing.

    If your project shouldn't be built, I'll say so. If it's a €15k job, it won't mysteriously become €60k. My minimum is €10k and it's posted publicly because I'd rather filter than negotiate.

— 03 / Highlights

Where I shine.

Hiring a specialist means hiring their taste, not their bandwidth. Here is the kind of work I do best.

Luxury & heritage commerce.

Shopify storefronts that respect the brand. ERP bridges, multi-language storefronts, metafield discipline — the kind of operational depth heritage brands need to ship without compromising the editorial.

Hospitality with operational depth.

Booking flows, invoicing, the back-of-house systems that make the front-of-house feel effortless. I build the parts no guest sees, so the parts they do see hold up.

SaaS marketing sites that scale.

Design systems, CMS architecture, page-builder rigour for teams that ship marketing copy weekly. Built to grow with the team, not against it.

End-to-end product builds.

Design through deployment, in one head. No handoffs to redo, no PMs to translate, no vendor chains to manage. Senior craft on every layer of the stack.

— 06 / Method

Four steps. One expert.

  1. Kickoff, no theatre.

    One working call — the problem, the constraints, the budget. By the end I know what we're building and what we're not. No discovery phase, no separate alignment workshop.

  2. Prototype, fast.

    A staging URL within the first week or two, however rough. Decisions get made in the product, not in a Figma deck. The shape of the thing arrives early so we can argue with it.

  3. Ship in slices.

    I push small, push often. Real software lands every few days. Your team sees the build evolving in their browser, and feedback hits the code where it matters.

  4. Hand back the keys.

    Documented, deployed, owned by your team. Source, credentials, write-up. I stay on retainer if it helps; I don't disappear if it doesn't.
