About

My clients include:

• Small design agencies that need complete development help. I’m happy to help with pitches and scoping out ideas. I’m very designer friendly and I not only see your white space, I appreciate it.
• Web agencies that need an extra pair of hands in busy periods. Need me to adopt to your coding style and just want to chuck over a Figma/Sketch and get a solid site back? I’m here for it.
• Charities that need help making their budget stretch and building something that will be easy to use and maintainable for a long time.
• Small businesses and individuals that need a quality website and someone reliable at the end of the phone who speaks human.

As well as the fundamentals I’m well versed in web animation, 3D, mapping, data visualisations, interactivity and games – AKA creative coding.

I recently spent two years doing iOS app development for Matter Neuroscience. This was working closely with designers and product managers hashing out interface prototypes and helping to design the app from the ground up. It was a mix of scrappy ingenuity and precision polishing when the time was right. It was the first time I’d ever done app development or touched SwiftUI.

My skills as a web developer are transferable – principled pragmatism, problem solving, and always building with the human who will be using the end product in mind.

In my spare time I am making an indie video game called ‘Tangermarine’ where you control a tangerine solider facing waves of undead vegetables.

“Tom’s an incredible front-end developer who works fast and just gets things done. He’s every designer’s dream to work with. What makes Tom really stand out is that he has a designer’s eye for detail and always brings good ideas to the table too. He cares about the work, and you can see that in how what we design is exactly what gets built. He has a rare developer talent and remains one of the best developers I know and have worked with.”

— Chloë Eardley, Senior Designer

“Tom has been a trusted partner on numerous projects over the years. His ability to find smart solutions and adapt quickly to changing needs has made him an invaluable part of our team. Every project is delivered on time and to a high standard. I would highly recommend him.”

— Dan Hayman, Oku Design

“Working with Tom was not only a professional experience but also far more enjoyable than we anticipated. He is, at his core, a deeply creative mind who leverages his technical/programming skills to make beautiful art come to life. That’s the part that made me connect with Tom the most and helped us turn our website into a full, cohesive experience. His attention to detail, sense of design, and ultimately, taste, is remarkable. Beyond happy to have him on. He will always be our first line of contact when it comes to our web.”
