A web designer with a sales brain

From hobby room to high-end agency

I've been building websites and developing software since I was 16. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a serious passion. I worked for years as a full-stack developer, spent time in high-ticket sales and built several e-commerce brands.

In early 2026 I took the leap and started my own business. The reason? Frustration. I saw too many companies losing customers because of an outdated, slow or simply ugly website. That can be done better. That must be done better.

I don't just focus on how a website looks. Of course it needs to look sharp, but I care about the bigger picture: the entire sales funnel. From attracting the right visitors to converting them into qualified leads. That's why every design starts with what the website needs to deliver, and only then with how it looks.

My journey

Age 16

First websites & software

What began as a hobby — building websites and programming — soon became a craft.

Next

Full-stack developer & high-ticket sales

Years of experience in development, combined with sales. That combination — technology and commerce — is now my strength.

E-commerce

Built my own webshops

Built several e-commerce brands from scratch. So I know exactly what a webshop needs to sell.

2026

Own web design agency

Since early 2026 I've been working fully for my own clients: high-end websites and webshops that deliver measurably more leads and revenue.
