THE CURRENT RACK4 TEMPLATES · 1 FREE

Independent design practice for founders, studios and operators. Custom builds when you need something exact — Framer templates when you need it yesterday.

§ 01 — Practice

Two ways
to work together.

Most projects fall into one of two buckets. Pick whichever fits — or take the quiz and I'll tell you which one suits you. No upsells.

01 / Bespoke

Custom design
& build

End-to-end engagements: discovery, art direction, design, and a fully handed-off Framer or coded site. For founders who need their site to do something specific — and do it better than the rest.

From $1.4k3–6 weeks
02 / Templates

Framer templates
off the shelf

Production-ready, fully responsive Framer files. CMS wired, components documented, motion baked in. Buy once, remix forever. New drops regularly — and the flagship is free.

§ 02 — Shop

Six templates.
One of them is free.

The current rack — dark editorial by instinct, each one in its own palette. Every template ships responsive, CMS-wired, with a written handoff. The Obscura, the flagship, is free to remix.

§ 03 — Not sure what you need?

Take the 2-minute
fit quiz.

Eight questions on what you're shipping, your timeline, budget and vibe. At the end I'll tell you straight: template, custom build, or something else entirely.

§ 04 — How it works

No case studies
yet — here’s the process.

I’m taking on founding clients right now, so instead of recycled quotes, here’s exactly how a project runs.

01
Audit first
Every build starts with the system — type scale, color, spacing, motion tokens. Nothing decorative until the foundation is right.
02
Build in the open
Editorial-grade layouts, wired and documented. You see progress as it happens, not a big reveal at the end.
03
Ship & hand off
Live on your domain in days, not months — with a walkthrough so you own it, not me.

Founding clients get closer collaboration and founding-client pricing — first come, first served.

§ 05 — Common questions

The things
everyone asks.

If your question isn't here, ask it in the form below — answered within one business day, usually faster.

Templates are pre-designed Framer files you customize yourself — fastest path to a live, professional site. Custom builds are bespoke, from-scratch engagements where I run discovery, art-direct, design and build to your exact requirements. Not sure? Take the quiz.
Most marketing sites land between 3 and 6 weeks. Bigger brand sites or anything with custom CMS structures, integrations or animations stretch toward 8. I share a week-by-week timeline at kickoff and you'll know where we are at any moment.
Yes. It's the flagship — a full dark editorial template for cocktail bars and speakeasies, free to remix from the Framer marketplace. If it fits your project, take it. If you want it tailored to your brand, that's what custom engagements are for.
Framer is the default — it's the fastest path to a beautiful, maintainable marketing site for most clients. I also build HTML, and Next.js when the project calls for it. Migrations from one platform to another are very welcome.
A fully responsive Framer site, components and variants documented, a Loom walkthrough. 30 days of email support.
Yes — copy direction is part of custom engagements. I won't pretend to be a brand copywriter, but I'll write a strong first pass, sharpen what you have, and partner with a writer in my network when the project warrants it.
Custom projects: 50% to start, 50% on handoff. Retainers: invoiced on the 1st of each month. Templates: paid in full at checkout on the Framer marketplace. Stripe, wire, or ACH all good for custom work.
§ 06 — Let's talk

Start something good.

Fill this out and I'll be back to you within a business day. If you'd rather take the quiz first, that works too.
