Hello, I'm Lewis

I'm passionate about crafting websites that are both functional and enjoyable. Whether it is design, UI updates or a complete overhall of an existing website / app, I enjoy finding new and creative solutions.


Transforming ideas into responsive, user-friendly websites and working across technologies from VanillaJS to frameworks like NextJS to help businesses and individuals tell their stories.

History

My path to front-end development has been anything but linear. As an architectural engineering graduate, I began my professional journey with a foundation in technical design. Seeking broader experiences, I traveled the world, working as a chef and an English teacher. These roles taught me adaptability, creativity, and the art of transforming complex ideas into clear, engaging experiences.

Throughout my travels, I continued creating art and producing music, maintaining a constant thread of creative expression. When I discovered coding, it felt like a natural progression – a way to blend my technical background, artistic sensibility, and problem-solving skills into front-end development.
