What I do

Custom websites, built to hold up under scrutiny.

I design and build websites tailored to what each business actually needs, with a strong emphasis on clarity, refinement, and attention to detail. Every project is approached with care and precision so the result is visually compelling and also functional, cohesive, and aligned with the goals it was built for.

Design and development

Every site is built from scratch rather than assembled from a template. That means the layout, the type, the motion, and the structure underneath are all decided for this project instead of inherited from something generic. The result is a site that looks like the business it belongs to and behaves the way a considered interface should.

Work spans full website builds, interface and layout design, component systems, and the front-end engineering that holds them together.

Responsive by default

Desktop and mobile are both part of the build, not an afterthought once the desktop version is signed off. Each site keeps a consistent visual standard, intuitive usability, and a polished presentation across devices and screen sizes. A layout that only works in one viewport is not finished.

After launch

For clients who want continued support once a site is live, I offer ongoing monthly updates and edits. These are handled case by case, with the scope and frequency set by the volume of work and the level of maintenance involved.

How a project runs

Pricing

Quoted per project. Every website differs in requirements, complexity, and scope, so proposals are tailored to the brief. I work with a range of budgets.

Timeline

Typically one to four weeks from approval, depending on the complexity of the brief, the number of pages, and how much custom functionality is involved.

Communication

Clear timelines and milestones are set at the start, with regular updates throughout so progress is never a mystery.

Service area

Baltimore, Towson, Ocean City, Salisbury, Chestertown, and across Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Remote work is fine too.

Recent work

Futures is an analytics platform for Twitch creators. Solenne and Aether Cay are concept builds for a restaurant and a resort, made to show how hospitality sites can look when the details are taken seriously.
