Portfolio Projects
A curated selection of websites, landing pages, and digital platforms where I served as designer, developer, project lead, or delivery owner. Some projects are under NDA or private client agreements, so live access may be limited. Where available, I’ve included case studies, screenshots, and video previews showing how the website looked at delivery. Some clients maintain their sites internally after launch, so current live versions may differ from the original delivered work.
Work that moves the needle
Good digital work should make the business clearer, more credible, easier to operate, and easier to buy from.
Conversion
Designed landing pages and business websites with clear user journeys, stronger CTAs, quote forms, service messaging, and trust-building proof.
