On a mission

To make the web a more user-friendly, delightful, and accessible place for people of all backgrounds and abilities.

My story

I’m a “third-culture kid” who grew up in both the U.S. and South Africa. Growing up in different cultural contexts has helped me to develop strong empathy and communication skills, which are useful in my web design business as well as day-to-day life!

My spouse and I have lived in South Korea, the U.S., Thailand, and Georgia together – it’s been a wild ride! We’re currently based in Thailand with plans to move permanently to Greece in October, 2026.

We also frequently work together. Check out their web development portfolio!

Other interests

If you really wanna know, in my free time I’m obsessed with all of the following:

  • Reading (my goal is to read 100 books this year!)
  • Board games
  • D&D (nerd alert!)
  • Petting stray cats and dogs
  • Trail running

I’m also a nerd for behavioural psychology. Reading books like Thinking, Fast and Slow and How Minds Change has radically affected the way I think about how humans reason and make decisions. One of the reasons I love web design is because I can use behavioural psychology principles to improve my designs!
