Hey, I’m Dave — a freelance front-end developer for people and planet friendly projects.

After I built my first website in the ’90s as a creative outlet and a way to explore my curiosity with the technology, I soon realised I’d stumbled into a career I hadn’t planned but absolutely love. Two decades on, I’ve been designing and building things on the web with a variety of organisations from agencies and startups to well-known brands and charities.

Recently my focus has shifted towards aiming to make a positive impact. Climate change is our most pressing challenge, and I believe creatives have a duty to be part of the solution.

I'm a front-end developer with a strong eye for design, focused on creating beautiful, functional user interfaces. Over the years, I've built up a broad skill set spanning development, design, and product management. My approach is flexible and hands-on — offering the kind of full service you'd expect from a larger agency, with the personal attention and care of a smaller team.

I work either as a solo freelancer, integrating with your existing team, or I often team up with other freelancers to offer you a full package.

I also run a low-carbon focused design and development studio called Tempest, where we collaborate with purpose-driven businesses to create effective websites, brands, and apps.
