I design clear, calm, and credible websites for New Zealand and Australian organisations who need their online presence to reflect their purpose, values, and professionalism. I have 7+ years’ experience working across corporate, public sector, and purpose-led organisations, designing websites that prioritise clarity, accessibility, and trust — especially in high-scrutiny environments. NZ & AU focus I specialise in websites for organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. This regional focus means I understand local expectations around public trust, plain-English communication, accessibility standards, and stakeholder-led decision making. My work is particularly well-suited to organisations in: • Healthcare and community services • Iwi and kaupapa-aligned organisations • Government-funded and public sector bodies • Education and research • Professional services Relevant experience highlights • Led a 77-page Webflow website for Te Kāika, a NZ healthcare NGO with $38 million in government funding • Designed and delivered iwi websites covering governance, history, and reconciliation content • Delivered digital and website projects for NZ government departments and public sector teams • Worked with universities and research faculties, translating complex information into clear, accessible websites • Designed websites for corporate and professional service organisations needing credibility-first digital presence How I work My process always starts with clarity — understanding the organisation, its audience, and what the website needs to achieve. From there, I lead projects end-to-end, from content structure and UX through to design, build, and launch, ensuring the final website feels intentional, easy to navigate, and built for trust. Platforms & services I design and build on Webflow and Wix, and support clients with: • Website strategy & information architecture • UX-led design and content clarity • Accessibility-aware design • CMS setup and training • Website rebuilds, refreshes, and ongoing support I work best with NZ and AU organisations who need their website to stand up to scrutiny, communicate clearly, and feel calm, confident, and considered.

With over 14 years of experience as a full-stack developer, I bridge the gap between aesthetic design and technical performance. My approach focuses on building resilient, future-proof digital assets that don't just look professional but dominate search rankings and user experience metrics. Core Expertise: Architecture & CMS Strategy: Expert-level implementation of both traditional WordPress ecosystems and modern Jamstack / Headless CMS architectures (Astro, Keystatic, Netlify). I specialise in designing content schemas that make site management intuitive while maintaining a decoupled, secure backend. Seamless Site Migrations: Specialising in low-risk, high-reward transitions between platforms. I handle the heavy lifting of moving content, databases, and assets while ensuring zero downtime and 100% data integrity. SEO-First Migration & Structured Data: I treat SEO as a foundation, not an afterthought. This includes building Silo SEO structures, rigorous 301 redirect mapping, and advanced JSON-LD Schema Markup (Organisation, Local Business, FAQ, and Article schemas) to ensure your site earns rich snippets and maximum visibility on SERPs. Performance Engineering: I don’t just "improve" speed; I optimise for 95+ Google PageSpeed Insights scores. By utilising static site generation (SSG), advanced caching, and clean TypeScript/modern JS, I ensure your site is lightning-fast and passes Core Web Vitals with ease. Comprehensive Web Design: Creating intuitive, responsive interfaces using modern design principles. Whether using flexible website builders or custom-coded solutions, I focus on conversion-driven layouts that work across all devices. Why Work With Me? I bring a decade and a half of professional problem-solving to every project. Whether you are a medical professional needing a complex SEO restructure with custom schema or a business migrating to a high-performance headless workflow, I provide the technical precision and clear communication necessary to deliver a world-class web presence.

Most B2B products don’t fail because of bad features, they fail because users get lost in complex, cluttered interfaces. I design clean, intuitive, conversion - focused interfaces for SaaS platforms, Dashboards, Fintech products, and internal business tools. My focus is on simplifying complex workflows, improving usability, and turning overloaded systems into clear, efficient products that people actually use. I help teams reduce friction in user flows, structure messy interfaces, and improve product clarity to drive higher engagement, efficiency, and revenue. With a background in banking and business operations, I understand data - heavy systems, user behavior, and real business logic, not just visual design. I’ve also worked with international clients on Upwork, combining strong UI design with practical product thinking. I’ve contributed to visual and digital design projects connected to Netflix (Stranger Things) and Star Wars. My work focuses on scalable, user - centered SaaS and fintech products where design decisions are aligned with business goals.
