Website Design and Development for Artists, Performers & Cultural Projects
I design and develop bespoke websites for established artists, performers, and cultural projects working across music, performance and art.
My practice focuses on creating distinctive digital experiences that reflect the identity and atmosphere of creative work.
Based in the UK and working internationally, I collaborate with musicians, bands, producers, DJs, festivals, studios, and independent projects seeking a considered and long-lasting online presence.
Each project is approached as a creative collaboration, balancing visual design, interaction, and technical build to create websites that feel intentional and characterful.
What I do
Custom Website Design & Development
My design approach treats a website as an extension of the creative work itself — considering pacing, movement, typography, and visual tone alongside structure and usability.
Projects are custom designed and built to reflect the character of the artist or project, creating an experience that feels cohesive with their wider output.
Working with a range of platforms and tools, I design, develop and manage websites for bands, musicians, DJs, producers, artists, studios, record labels, venues and creatively ambitous projects seeking an immersive and engaging online presence that reflects the quality and individuality of their work.
I build websites that allow flexibility and long-term control while supporting highly customised design and interaction. This approach combines creative freedom with a stable and maintainable platform suitable for evolving projects, touring artists, and growing catalogues.
For most projects, I utilise motion design and bespoke interactive elements tailored to the needs of the work.
About Me
With over 20 years experience designing, developing and managing websites and creative media in the music, live events, and education sectors, I made the switch to full-time freelance web and creative design in 2018.
Working from my studio in South Devon, UK, I design, build and manage websites for clients internationally.
In addition to visual design and web development, I produce, DJ and perform music for a range of projects.
