More about me
As a freelance web designer and developer based in Yarm, I help businesses across North Yorkshire create professional, affordable websites that deliver real results.
I began my career in web design back when websites were hand-coded from scratch, long before modern design software made things easier. That hands-on experience taught me the importance of clean, efficient code—a practice I still enjoy today.
I earned a master’s degree from Teesside University, where I also worked as a web designer from 2006–2008. Since moving into the business sector, I’ve designed websites for a wide range of businesses in North Yorkshire, Teesside and the North East, from local shops and cafés to professional services, tradespeople and charities. My work has consistently been recognised for quality and reliability.
