01 / What I believeOn design

One person, / no handovers.

There is no difference between good design and good problem-solving.

The projects I like most are the awkward ones, like a technical product that has to make sense to everyone else, or an odd idea that still has to be easy to use.

02 / FounderCareer

22+ years / Digital products

22+

Design systems / Architecture / Accessibility / Web engineering

Thirteen years in London, now on my own.

I’ve been building websites since about 2004. Most of that time I worked as a front-end developer and architect, so the code isn’t an afterthought here.

I worked at several big London agencies and on large enterprise products. That’s my own employment history. Those agencies aren’t DECO CODE clients.

Design & development
React and TypeScript, component systems, and architecture meant to last for years.
Quality by default
WCAG 2.2 accessibility, performance budgets, and tests that run on every change.
London, 13 years
AKQA, R/GA, Sapient, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, and a Cannes Silver Lion with the R/GA team.
Enterprise products
Seven years of SaaS at Quadient, then lead front-end architecture for Divorcio.

03 / The practiceFour rules I keep

A few rules I don’t bend.

  1. 01

    No templates.

    Every layout is designed for the content it has to carry.

  2. 02

    Readable.

    Clear headings, short paragraphs, and type big enough to read on a phone.

  3. 03

    Fast.

    Pages that load quickly on a phone with a weak signal. I measure it rather than guess.

  4. 04

    One owner.

    The same person answers for the identity, the code and the server.

04 / Selected practiceDifferent clients

Houses, solar, fashion, law.

Modular homes, solar technology, a stylist, a divorce app, a village website. Each one looks like itself. The engineering underneath is held to the same standard every time.

05 / Working togetherBefore you write

Start with the problem

Good projects come from good conversations.

Tell me what’s wrong or what you need. You don’t need a finished specification. Working that out is part of the job.

Distinctive by design. Exceptional by engineering.
