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.

Common questions

Do you work outside Cochrane?

Local projects focus on Cochrane and the surrounding area, including Airdrie, Bearspaw, Bragg Creek, and west Calgary. 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.

How do local clients usually find you?

Most local enquiries start on Google. I keep my Google Business Profile updated with service area, reviews, and contact details. If we have worked together locally, a review there helps other businesses nearby find me.

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.
