[/] About Me

I studied architecture at TU Delft and the University of Melbourne. Worked at Rotterdam firms for four years. Taught myself to code during COVID, evenings and weekends. Now I do both.

[+] Background

Bachelor's from Tasmania, exchange year at New Mexico studying parametric design, master's degrees from Delft and Melbourne. The architecture training shows up in how I structure websites and think about space. Where people look first. How they move through.

[+] Web Development

I build custom sites. React, PHP, jQuery. Whatever connects. About 14 sites in the past two years for designers, photographers, small e-commerce shops. Most projects take one to two weeks.

Recent work: JuulLit.com north_east for a Rotterdam graphic designer. Kekwick.com.au north_east, an Australian e-commerce site.

Also built some tools: Sample-Sync north_east tracks material samples for architecture firms via QR codes. StayCloseBy north_east is a Rotterdam-only room sharing platform. BlendLines north_east handles task management.

[+] Exhibition Building

At MaMA Rotterdam north_east I build exhibitions and help emerging artists figure out how to present their work. Wall construction, lighting, spatial planning. Sometimes getting code to run on a Raspberry Pi. Seven exhibitions so far.

[+] Materials and Fabrication

Two years at Plasticiet north_east working with recycled plastic. Mould design, material testing, finished furniture. Also make things from recycled paper and metal. Built film sets and light installations. See furniture gallery.

[~] What I Do

Websites

Custom sites built from scratch. React, PHP, jQuery. No templates. I figure out what you actually need and build that. Most projects take one to two weeks.

14 sites built so far. Designers, photographers, small shops. Portfolio sites to full webstores with inventory systems.

Online Stores

Custom e-commerce when the standard platforms don't fit. Product management, payments, shipping logic built around how you actually work. Can also build on Shopify or WooCommerce if that makes more sense.

Exhibition Building

Seven exhibitions at MaMA Rotterdam north_east. Walls, lighting, spatial planning. I also help emerging artists figure out how to present their work physically.

Furniture and Objects

Two years at Plasticiet north_east working with recycled plastic. Material testing, mould design, finished pieces. Also work with paper and metal. Custom commissions welcome.
