Ever since I left my full-time job and went on my own back in 2016, I’ve been working exclusively within the Squarespace platform, however, that has not stopped my progression within the web development industry. Ever since then, I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing clients in a wide range of different industries and I’d love to share my work with you.
