Services

Website design & development

Your website should be a joy to use and your digital platforms should help streamline your business and revenue streams - let's make sure that is all true.

Branding

Successful businesses have a strong and consistent brand identity; let's make sure the personality of your business shines through in every visual and verbal expression of it.

App design

A great app should feel intuitive, simplifying tasks and providing immediate value to the user. Let's design a clear, engaging experience that keeps your audience coming back.

UX design

Every customer deserves a great experience when interacting with a business, so whether in person or online, let's make sure it's a smooth journey as they book, buy or fact-find.

Print & publication design

From business cards to menus and signage, labels and brochures. If it's in the physical world it has the ability to make an impact, so let's make sure that's a positive one.

Automation

Effective businesses have efficient systems and procedures, and utilise automation. Let automation do the boring work so you can focus on bringing what only you can bring.

Why work with me?

I offer a holistic approach to design. As a result, you get the benefit of working with an agile, one-stop shop, without the need for a larger team and the associated costs that come with that.

Over the last 30+ years of my working life I have developed a knack for connecting the dots and helping companies do things better. They raise their standards, save money, have happier staff and improve the experience for their customers.

If you’re still reading, I’m willing to bet that you're intrigued: so why not book a 20 minute discovery call.

It is completely free, with absolutely no obligation to work with me after, so what have you got to lose?

FAQs

Each project varies, so naturally the cost does too. I do everything myself* so don’t spend time in meetings, or going back and forth with colleagues about things that are not working. I work with no-code platforms, which means I don’t have any expensive developer salaries to pay. I believe in delivering amazing value for money so want you to feel like you got a good return on your investment.

*I will bring in others if a project requires something that is outwith the services I provide, or I need more people to meet a specific deadline

Absolutely!

Both. Some projects can run with us never meeting face-to-face; specifically those that are digital only. For others, and just whenever possible, I prefer to have in-person sessions. Obviously, if you have a brick and mortar business then that will necessitate the latter. I am based in Edinburgh and happy to travel anywhere.

In many cases it would be possible for me to base myself in your team for some or all of the project. This would be project specific and something we could discuss and agree together.
