CUSTOM
WEBSITES.
STORES.
SYSTEMS.
I help designers, photographers, architects, and festivals show their work properly. A website should give you the framework — something you upload into and let the work speak, not redesign every few months. I build, maintain, and optimise everything myself.

FIXED STARTS.
CUSTOM ENDS.
These are not templates. They are clear ways to start a serious project without spending the first week guessing scope.
You send references, a deadline, and what needs to work. I sketch the structure fast — no long discovery phase, no wasted weeks.
We work back and forth in Figma. If you have a clear vision, I'll execute it. If you're not sure, I'll show you a few directions. Either way, it ends up looking like yours — not something off a shelf.
Clean code, custom built, heavily optimised so it loads fast. Animations where they add something. Built so you can upload your work and let it speak — not fight the layout every time you add something new.
Deployed, tested, and handed over. SEO basics in place. You leave knowing how to use it.
3 months of post-launch support included. After that, optional monthly maintenance — so the site doesn't quietly fall apart while you're focused on the actual work.
ARCHITECTURE
TRAINED.
CODE
FLUENT.
Rotterdam became home while working at architecture firms here for almost four years. Taught myself to code during COVID. Evenings and weekends. Common thread: making things that actually work with an immense desire for perfection.
How I structure a website is how I'd plan a building — where people look first, how they move through it, what they remember. The architecture background is not the headline, but it shows up in the decisions: hierarchy, flow, constraints, and details that do not fall apart later.
Nothing beats watching someone use something I built without needing instructions.
I take on a limited number of serious projects. Every one is designed, built, and maintained by me — you are not handed off to a third party or a generic setup.

IF THE SYSTEM BREAKS."
Send me what you're working on — references, a rough deadline, and what needs to actually work. We'll figure out together pretty quickly if it makes sense.
DM @bigolssPhotography 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.
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.
I write about freelancing and how I organise work. Mostly things I've figured out the hard way.
