What I do

Bespoke websites for visual portfolios

Each website is designed and built around the way your work needs to be seen — with clear structure, thoughtful pacing and space for the right images to do their job.

  • New websites and thoughtful redesigns
  • Structure, layout and content planning
  • Performance, accessibility and responsive checks
  • Image preparation and ongoing support

How I work

A straightforward process that keeps the focus on your work and how it appears online.

01

Understanding your work

We begin with a conversation about your work, your goals and the kind of clients you want to attract. From your images, notes and references we shape the structure and content of the website together.

02

Designing the website

I design the layout and organisation of the site so visitors can quickly understand what they are looking at. Images, text and navigation are arranged to make the work easy to explore.

03

Refining and launching

Once the design is ready, we review the details together and refine the content and images. The final result is a website that feels clear, professional and ready to share.

You can read more about my background and process on the About page .

People I’ve collaborated and created for

Over the years I’ve had the privilege of living in Paris then London and now Sheffield, working with many inspiring people and companies – first through photography and now increasingly through digital design.

My photography has appeared in titles including Elle, Cosmopolitan, Libération, Madame Figaro and Vanity Fair, and in campaigns for creative agencies across Paris and London.

Selected Garden Photography

Editorial garden photography for studios and designers who want their projects to be experienced on the page much as they are in the garden — the play of light through leaves, the depth of colour, the texture of stone and planting, the atmosphere of the place itself.

I take on a small number of photography commissions each year.

  • Garden portraits and completed project documentation
  • Image libraries for websites, press features and presentations
  • Detail studies and wider views that give the work depth and context
