Six engagements, every one still running

Selected work

Products that shipped, and what happened next.

Each case study covers the problem, the decisions, the trade-offs and the numbers afterwards, including the parts that were harder than expected.
Portfolio

Six projects, four disciplines, one person accountable.

Filter by discipline, or read them all. Every project below was designed and built end to end, research through to production deploy.

How I work

Four rules that hold on every engagement.

These are not aspirations. They are the things clients hold me to, and the reason most of them come back.

  1. 01

    Say the difficult thing early

    Scope problems, bad assumptions and unrealistic deadlines get raised in week one, not week nine. It is uncomfortable once and cheap forever.

  2. 02

    Build less, finish it properly

    A smaller product that is genuinely complete beats a broad one that is eighty percent done in every direction. Cut scope, never craft.

  3. 03

    Leave it maintainable

    Conventional patterns, real documentation and a handover session. Success is your team not needing to call me.

  4. 04

    Accessibility is not a feature

    Keyboard access, contrast, focus order and screen-reader semantics are acceptance criteria on every build, not a phase that gets cut.

Want something like this for your own product?

Send me the shape of the problem. I will tell you honestly whether it is a four-week job, a four-month one, or something you should not build at all yet.
