I create websites, design systems and digital products.

I can help make your digital experiences user-centered, accessible, privacy-respecting and sustainable.

  • Working with Dave was an awesome experience and we felt like he was part of our team! Post-launch, we’ve seen a clear increase in lead conversions.

Reasons people like working with me

  1. I advocate for creating easy-to-use digital experiences, with accessibility and privacy considered from day one.

  2. I have a background in frontend development, and enjoy collaborating with developers and in-house teams to bring design intent to life.

  3. I think and design in components and modules, rather than pages. This is how developers think, and the end result is a flexible system we can use to build your site.

  4. I don’t limit the number of revisions or rounds of feedback. There’s no “big reveal” or surprises: every time you review my work it will feel like an evolution of what’s come before.

Dave is highly accountable and comes with a variety of creative and commercially appropriate ideas.

Ways we can work together

  1. For one-off short or medium-term projects, like marketing and documentation sites, we’ll set aside a period of time to collaborate on the project.

  2. If you’re looking for an external design partner on an ongoing basis, I can make myself available for an agreed number of hours each month.

  3. For less regular support, we can organise a time bank: buy a number of hours to use over a period we agree, then refill them as needed.

  4. If you’re looking for design feedback or guidance on a project, I offer design consultations.

Examples of some recent projects

Eight things to expect if we partner on a project

  1. Transparency, flexibility and honesty. I’ll be clear about what I can and can’t do, my rates and availability.

  2. Efficient design work. I think and design in components and modules, rather than pages. This is how developers think, and results in a flexible system to build your site.

  3. Thoughtfulness and care. I don’t secretly outsource work or pass it off to AI. Unless I tell you otherwise, the only person doing the work will be me.

  4. A commitment to limit my calendar to 2–3 concurrent projects. It serves no-one well if my attention is too divided.

  5. Accessibility considered at every stage. I’ll loop in developers early so we’re all on the same page and there are no surprises.

  6. A commitment to privacy-respecting approaches. This is a complex, evolving area, but I’ll work with you to think through privacy-conscious strategies.

  7. Access to my extensive network of trusted collaborators: developers, illustrators and copywriters. If needed, I can lead the team, too.

  8. I don’t pay kickbacks for work referrals. If I’ve been recommended to you, you can be confident that the referral is genuine and there’s no secret deal behind-the-scenes.

  • Dave’s attention to detail, clarity, and confidence are priceless. Not only am I very happy with how we worked together and the final result, I now do not hesitate to recommend him to my clients as well.
