Before I started college, I had zero background in coding, design or anything tech. I was doing night shifts at McDonald's and wasn't sure what I wanted to do — but I knew I wanted something I could build into a career.
I took a chance on the T-Level in Digital Production, Design and Development, worked harder than I ever had, and came out the other side with a Distinction and a genuine passion for building things on the web. Two years of college took me from knowing nothing to being a Placement Officer at BCS Herts.
Now I'm channelling that into helping local businesses get the digital presence they deserve — while building my portfolio and looking for the right apprenticeship to take things further.
Work with meWorking night shifts at McDonald's. No background in tech, design or development — but determined to change that.
Started the T-Level in Digital Production, Design and Development with no prior knowledge. Learned HTML, CSS, Python, databases, accessibility and more from scratch.
Completed a 400+ hour industry placement with BCS Herts. Gained real professional experience in digital support, administration and project work. Went on to become a Placement Officer.
Graduated with a Distinction — the highest grade available. A result I'm genuinely proud of given where I started.
Taking on client projects, building my portfolio and working towards the right apprenticeship. If you're a local business who needs a hand getting online — I'm here.

Working with me is straightforward. No confusing contracts, no hidden costs, no waiting weeks to hear back.
Fill in the form below, send an email or give me a call. Tell me a bit about what you need — there's no commitment at this stage.
We'll have a chat — on the phone or on a video call — to go through what you're looking for, what you already have and what a realistic timeline and cost looks like.
Once we've agreed the brief, I handle everything — design, build, copy, the lot. I'll keep you updated throughout so there are no surprises.
You review the work and we tweak it until it's exactly right — Once you're happy, you choose what comes next:
A long-established Weybridge barbershop needed to step up from a basic listing page. Delivered a full single-page site with a refined dark aesthetic, a typographic price board for services, photo gallery and mobile booking CTA.
A full-stack local food producer marketplace developed as part of my T-Level using Flask, SQLite and vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Designed from the ground up—including planning, wireframing and user flows—it features accessibility options, secure GDPR-compliant authentication, an integrated ordering system, and a comprehensive seller dashboard with inventory management.
