Featured Work

Biodiversify

web development, cms, wordpress

I teamed up with long-term collaborator, designer (and friend) Ed Harrison to create a bespoke website for Biodiversify, who work with businesses, policymakers and landowners on strategies to fulfil their mission: to see the recovery of nature in the real world.

jamjar

web development, cms, wordpress, bilingual, welsh

After working on several projects with the talented team at jamjar, they tasked me with building their vision for a portfolio website that's clean and professional, but also a little jammy.

Under the Skin of Endangered Animals

web development, cms, wordpress, woocommerce

Under the Skin is the passion project of brothers Ed and James Harrison. Their print series reveals the anatomy of some of the world’s most iconic, yet endangered animals, while raising funds for charities working on the ground to support conservation and prevent population decline.

Chwarae Teg

web development, cms, wordpress, bilingual

I had the pleasure of working with Blue Stag again on the redesign of the Chwarae Teg website. I built a custom WordPress theme with multiple custom post types and a fully bespoke bilingual solution that allows the website to be viewed in English or Welsh.

Wild Creations

web development, cms, wordpress

Cardiff-based design and fabrication company Wild Creations needed a new website that promoted their mission statement: "the weird and wonderful realised".

The result of this project, undertaken in collaboration with a local graphic designer, is a bold and modern website for Wild Creations that puts their work centre stage.

Theatre503

web development, cms, wordpress, spektrix

I developed the new site for Theatre503 in conjuction with the design team at Crucible Creative. The site was built in WordPress and uses a custom-written plugin to synchronise with their event management software, Spektrix.
