FIRST, A CONVERSATION
See if we’re a good fit.
We’ll talk through the problem, what you’ve tried and what a useful first step could look like. No payment or commitment to a project.

A practical problem. A creative idea.
Let’s make
something useful.
I’m Russell. I build websites, automation workflows and practical tools—with the people who know the problem best.
A thoughtful first version. Something you can try, learn from and keep.
Let’s talk about it A free 30-minute conversation. Start there. A SMALL WORKING STUDY
One useful first step.
An idea that needs a homeStructure · interaction · personalityA page you can try
A focused website or interactive experience, shaped around the person using it.
Illustrative idea · your project starts with a conversation01 / HOW WE WORK
Start small.
Make it tangible.
You shouldn’t need a sprawling contract to find out whether an idea is worth building.
A FOCUSED STARTER
Ten hours. A useful direction.
We agree one practical objective and work toward a prototype, proof of concept or first working version. The scope fits the time; a finished production system isn’t promised in ten hours.
You keep what we build, with a handoff that explains what works, what we learned and what comes next.

THEN, TAKE STOCK
Continue because it makes sense.
At ten hours, we review the work together. Stop there, or agree to expand to 50 hours total. Your first ten count, leaving 40 additional hours. Nothing extends automatically.

02 / GROUNDED IN REAL WORK
Close to the problem.
Careful with the solution.
Client services is the foundation of my work: listening, finding the friction and helping people use what we create. The offer is broader than support teams. A good fit is a practical problem we can make progress on together.
I use AI as part of the building process, alongside domain knowledge, testing and feedback.
Make the repetitive part easier.
I’ve built document-workflow automation with human review, so judgment stays with the people who understand the documents.
Document→First pass→Human review
Put the useful things within reach.
I’ve built a .NET desktop tool around recurring support tasks, refining the interface with colleagues who used it in their daily work.
