Hi, I'm Leo
Independent developer and designer in Example City. I design interfaces and build them myself.
Freelance developer and designer
I design and build websites and web apps that people enjoy using
I work with founders and small teams from the first sketch to the last line of code. One person, one clear process, no handoffs lost between design and development.

About
A developer who designs, and a designer who ships
For nine years I have worked on both sides of the handoff. Clients get one person who understands the brand, the interface and the code that runs it.
I take on a small number of projects at a time, so every client gets direct access to me from the first call to launch day. No account managers, no junior swaps halfway through.

From 450 EUR a month (template value)
How we work
A simple process with no surprises
Every project follows the same four steps, with a fixed price and a clear date for each milestone.
01
Scope call
A focused call about goals, pages and dates. You get a one page proposal with one price within two days.
Week 1
02
Design
Wireframes first, then full designs for every key page. Two rounds of feedback are included.
Weeks 2 to 4
03
Build
I build the site or app myself, with a staging link you can check at any time.
Weeks 4 to 7
04
Launch and handover
Launch, redirects, analytics and a recorded walkthrough, plus thirty days of support.
Week 8
Good tools disappear. I pick the ones that let me spend more time on the problem and less on the setup.
Stack and tools
The tools I reach for every day
A small, proven stack I know deeply, so your project never pays for experiments.
Figma
Interface design and prototypes
95%
React and TypeScript
Web apps and dashboards
90%
Divhunt
CMS websites clients edit alone

Kind words
What clients say after launch
Writing
Notes on design, code and running a one person studio
How I scope a website project in one call
The eight questions I ask on every first call, and how the answers turn into a fixed scope and a price the client can plan around.
Design tokens that developers actually use
A small, honest token set beats a huge one nobody reads. Here is the structure I hand over on every brand and UI project.
Shipping a dashboard without a design system
Small teams rarely have time for a full design system. These are the five rules I follow to keep a data heavy interface consistent anyway.
Two project slots open for early 2027
Have a project in mind? Let's make it the best thing you ship this year.
