How I work
Process and what I build.
I am a solo designer-developer in Essex. This page is about how projects run and what kinds of builds I take on — not a fake agency portfolio grid.

Overview
What you are hiring
Me. Design, build, launch and optional care. No junior hand-off mid-project.
I am selective about scope. A strong phase one beats a bloated never-ship.

WooCommerce shops
Products, payments, shipping, order emails.

In practice
