Please may I blow my own trumpet for a moment to tell you why I’m a good choice for you, if you are looking for a web designer?
In short, I help artists and cultural organisations communicate their work through thoughtful websites, compelling writing and strategic digital marketing.
I may be a web designer, but I understand artists.
I’m not just someone who can build websites, by the way, I’ve actually spent decades as a practising artist myself. I’ve applied for several residencies, written artist statements, curated opportunities, and co-founded an artist residency in France called Studio Faire. That means I instinctively understand you and your audience.
I write well.
I love writing and write a weekly article and regular posts on Substack just for fun. I write all the website copy on this site and over at Studio Faire, as well as all the social media posts. Studio Faire currently has 6,680 followers on Instagram, so I guess I’m doing something right there! Good websites are about communicating clearly. I believe that’s one of my strengths.
I think strategically.
When I discuss websites and marketing with my clients, I’m always looking beyond “making a nice website.” I think about SEO, attracting visitors, building trust in you when they get there, helping them navigate easily through the site to entice them to linger longer, and converting visitors into enquiries.
My ideal clients:
- Artists
- Makers
- Designers
- Photographers
- Architects
- Galleries
- Arts organisations
- Artist residencies
- Craft organisations
- Cultural charities
- Heritage organisations
- Independent venues
- Creative businesses
I care about quality.
I’m extremely particular and happy to keep refining something until it feels right for my client. Sometimes we go through several design ideas. I don’t stop until I get it right!
I understand small creative organisations.
Galleries, arts organisations, craft centres, residencies, festivals and charities often need someone who understands their world. I get them, because I’ve worked in all of these.

“It’s like I handed you a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a black puddle and you waved your magic wand and voila – a gorgeous website! I’m over the moon with it.”
