Ditch the DIY disaster
Most people use templates, but you aren't like most people, are you?
Templates don't tell stories; they mold everyone into the same shape. A storycrafted website proclaims your value with every pixel.
Features don’t sell in a crowded market — identity does.
If you don’t want to sound like everyone else, your website can’t look like everyone else’s. It has to communicate who you are — and what you stand for.
Most designers focus on SEO, mobile responsiveness, and slick layouts. Those matter — but performance is only half the job. The other half is storytelling that builds trust.
My story starts in a history classroom. I didn’t study design or comp sci. I studied revolutions, social movements, and narratives.
After grad school, I joined the web team at the U.S. Department of State. Four years later, I became team lead and product owner of State.gov — a 47,000-page site with 79 million visitors a year.
When you land on my site, you don’t just see a layout. You see me: a cat-loving historian who builds with clarity and conviction. Every design choice tells that story — and I do the same for you.
