YOUR WORK SHOULDN'T NEED YOU IN THE ROOM TO EXPLAIN IT.

I design and build custom websites and decision systems for designers, manufacturers, festivals, and technical teams. Architecture-trained, code-fluent, and direct from first decision to launch.

What I Build

01

Creative Websites

Portfolio and practice sites shaped around the work, not a template. Images, video, GIFs, projects, writing, and a CMS built for what you actually publish.

02

Stores & Ticketing

Online stores, festival programmes, booking flows, and QR tickets. I choose between Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, or a direct system based on what you sell.

03

The Systems Behind Them

When the website needs machinery, I build that too: custom CMSs, dashboards, booking tools, and workflow systems. Sample Sync tracks material interest; the Forsyth map turns energy data into a commercial pipeline.

Starting Points

FIXED STARTS.
CUSTOM ENDS.

Every project is different, but these are useful starting points.

01

Landing Page

A single focused page. From idea to live in one week. Great for launches, events, or when you need something specific and excellent.

from €1,000
03

Online Store

Ecommerce that fits what you're selling. I choose Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom build based on what makes sense. Payment processing that protects your margin and a checkout that keeps people moving.

from €3,000
04

Festival & Event Site

Fast sites and custom ticketing for festivals, exhibitions, and events. Programme pages, QR tickets, and booking flows without handing a cut of every sale to a platform.

from €1,500
05

Custom Workflow System

The awkward operational work that doesn't fit any off-the-shelf tool. QR tracking, dashboards, booking systems, and admin tools built around how the operation actually works.

How It Works

01
CONTACT

Use the form or email me. Send the work, the goal, and any useful references. I'll reply within a day.

02
CONCEPT

I study what you already have, propose a direction, and make the important decisions visible in Figma before code. You don't need a complete brief to begin.

03
BUILD

Most projects ship in 1–2 weeks once the direction is clear. I build the interface and CMS, then handle performance, SEO, and whatever custom machinery the project needs.

04
LAUNCH & SUPPORT

Every project includes three months of support. I check in with you on what's working, fix what's not, and can continue with ongoing maintenance after that.

[~/] why

Evidence, Not Adjectives

01

Trained Across Disciplines

Computer science foundations, a Master of Architecture, and years inside H2O, MEI, and De Zwarte Hond. I can read both the system and the people it has to serve.

02

Operational Systems, Live Data

The Forsyth map turns 1,461 energy records into a prioritised commercial view. Sample Sync is used inside a materials manufacturer. I build tools that survive contact with real work.

03

Direct Accountability

Strategy, design, code, deployment, and post-launch support stay with one person. Every build includes three months of support, with no outsourced handoff.

Stack — I use whatever the project needs. Vanilla first, frameworks when they earn it.

THINK
IN SYSTEMS.
BUILD
IN CODE.

I started in computer science, then moved into architecture and spent years working at studios including H2O in Melbourne, MEI and De Zwarte Hond in Rotterdam. Both fields ask the same questions: what people see, how they move, and what they remember.

Sample Sync began with a broken workflow I saw inside those studios. Then friends needed websites; then their referrals did. Today I work from De Kroon in Rotterdam, close to the designers, photographers, and makers I build for.

One person designs, codes, and stays after launch. No account manager, no outsourced handoff, no layers. I build the framework a practice can grow into, not just the page it launches with.

PHOTO­GRAPHY

Photography keeps me honest. Forces me to look at the world as it is, not how I want it to be. When I'm not at a screen, I'm walking around with a camera.

Buildings, streets, cities. Rotterdam, Tbilisi, Iran, wherever else I end up. Self-published zines — sold about 50 copies internationally via crowdfunding. Available for commissions: architecture, interiors, urban environments.

← Back
FURNI­TURE

Furniture and objects made from recycled paper, metal, and plastic. Two years at Plasticiet — moulds, material testing, finished pieces. Code is clean, but plastic is messy. I like getting my hands dirty.

Also film sets, light installations for collectors, prototypes. Custom work on request.

← Back
WRITING

I write about work, travel, and things I've figured out the hard way. Mostly.
