I like turning ideas into things

An interest in music, visuals and audio reactivity led me to build Flux, a real-time visual instrument that responds to sound.

An interest in dreams and the patterns that can appear across them led to Onyva, a web application for recording dreams, exploring interpretations and looking back across them over time.

Photography is another interest of mine, and that led me to build a deliberately minimal portfolio where the interface stays out of the way and the images do the work.

They are very different projects, but the starting point was similar: an idea that seemed interesting enough to explore properly.

Alongside building digital products, I have a background in biotech sales. It means I've spent a lot of time around technical products, specialist customers and ideas that are not always easy to explain.

That experience has made me particularly interested in the gap between something being technically impressive and somebody actually understanding why it matters.

It also means I'm comfortable getting into unfamiliar or complicated subject matter, asking questions and working out what somebody genuinely needs rather than assuming the answer from the start.

Most interesting projects don't begin as technical specifications.

They start with things like: "I've been thinking about something", "I wish there was a way to do this", or "I've got an idea, but I don't really know where to start."

That's a perfectly good place to begin.

Part of my job can be helping you work out what the idea actually needs to become. Sometimes the answer is a simple website. Sometimes it's a proper application or tool. Sometimes the original idea changes once we start asking the right questions.

You don't need to know the terminology or arrive knowing how it should be built. That's something we can work out together.
