Cochrane, Alberta
Design and build for local businesses.
Websites, UX fixes, and mentorship for Cochrane shops, trades, and professional services. Seventeen years of product design, now focused on the town I work from.
Services
Why work with me
Senior, not junior
Seventeen years across government, healthcare, and consumer products. You get experience, not someone learning on your dime.
Design and build
I work in Figma and Next.js. One person from structure to shipped pages means fewer handoffs and fewer surprises.
Local, direct
No account manager, no offshore dev shop. You talk to the person doing the work. Coffee in Cochrane when schedules allow.
Enterprise and product work lives on the main portfolio. This section is for Cochrane businesses and designers.
Selected work
The same craft, for local businesses
Landing pages, booking flows, and mobile layouts from seventeen years of client work. Your Cochrane project gets the same standard.
Areas served
Based in Cochrane with in-person kickoffs and workshops when it helps. Most project work is async with clear milestones.
Common questions
Do you only work with Cochrane businesses?
Yes. Local work here is Cochrane only. I also take selected remote projects through my main portfolio.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
You work directly with one senior designer who can also build. Fewer layers, clearer communication, and pricing that reflects a solo practice, not a twelve-person shop.
How does scheduling and availability work?
We agree milestones upfront, and I block dedicated time in my calendar for your project. You get tailored check-ins and a digital roadmap to keep us on track, with async updates between sessions for full transparency.
Do you do logos and brand identity?
I focus on digital product and web experience. For full brand identity I can recommend local collaborators and design within an existing brand system.
