The point of view

Most sites are built for a big screen, then shrunk to fit the small one. I design both with the same care, because your customers move between them without thinking about it. Build elsewhere.

Both screens. Equal care, not an afterthought

A lot of your traffic is a phone screen, someone searching from a parking lot, a couch, a barstool. Just as much might be a laptop at a desk. Every project here is designed to feel right on both, which is why the portfolio below is shown the way people actually hold it.

Apps

Not just sites.
Shipped products.

Fat Tail

A weather app that shows what's actually happening instead of what a model guessed. Live readings from calibrated airport sensors, the same data pilots check before takeoff, decoded into plain language anyone can read. Designed and built end to end, from the data layer to the interface.

Fat Tail field report screen showing measured conditions
The field reportMeasured conditions from the nearest station, with the distance and how fresh the reading is.
Fat Tail hourly forecast screen
Hour by hourTap any hour to open wind, precipitation odds, humidity, and dew point.
Fat Tail seven day forecast screen
Seven days outThe NWS forecast in plain language, expandable to the full written detail.
Real instrumentsScrubbable NOAA radar, a live wind compass, three-hour pressure trends.
Tap to learnEvery screen ends with the raw station code, and every piece of it is tappable.
Built privateNo accounts, no tracking. Location stays on the device.
Free foreverThe data is public and taxpayer-funded. The app just delivers it well.

How we help

Everything your business
needs to show up.

One studio for all of it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a designer, a photographer, and an SEO contractor who have never met.

01

Websites

Hand-coded, phone-first, and fast on two bars in a parking lot. Built around your business, not a template's block library.

  • Custom design
  • Hand-built code
  • Menus & booking
  • Fast on mobile
02

E-commerce

Product pages that sell the reason to buy, not just the SKU, carts, checkout, and the copy that gets someone to it.

  • Online stores
  • Product pages
  • Conversion copy
03

Apps

From marketing site to shipped product, Fat Tail above is a live weather app, not a mockup. Tools, booking flows, and products get scoped and built here too.

  • Web apps
  • Product design
  • Launch
04

Photography

Food, product, interiors, and team, shot for the exact spot on the page it will live in. The one thing a competitor with the same template can't copy.

  • Food & drink
  • Product
  • Interiors & team
  • Library is yours
05

Video & drone

FAA Part 107 licensed and insured aerial work, brand film, and short-form clips cut for social, all edited in house.

  • Aerial / Part 107
  • Brand film
  • Social clips
06

Local SEO

Schema, real HTML menus, location pages, and a Google Business Profile that matches your site, included in every build, not sold back to you later.

The process

Wild ideas.
Disciplined build.

  1. 01

    Find the hook

    Who you're selling to, what they're choosing between, and the one reason they pick you. Everything downstream depends on this.

  2. 02

    Write it first

    Sitemap, page order, every word, agreed before any design happens. Design around finished copy, never the reverse.

  3. 03

    Shoot it

    A half or full day on site. You keep the whole edited library, not just what ends up on the website.

  4. 04

    Build phone-first

    Coded at phone width first, reviewed as a real page in a real browser, not a flat picture of one.

  5. 05

    Launch and sharpen

    Go live, submit to Google, watch what real people do, fix what the guesses got wrong. Thirty days of support included.
