Independent digital workshop / Geesc Online

Your business deserves better than off-the-shelf software.

I build ambitious digital tools around the needs of independent businesses — websites, apps, backend systems and integrations with your existing setup, as well as the occasional interesting side quest.

Ways of working

Bring me the awkward bit.

Sometimes the job is a new product. Sometimes it is the part nobody has had time to untangle. Both deserve care.

  • Build

    Websites, web apps and digital tools built around the way your business actually works.

    From first sketch to something useful
  • Iterate

    Test, refine and improve the parts of an existing product that matter most.

    Test what works / make it better
  • Support

    Ongoing technical care, fixes and thoughtful additions as your product grows.

    Keep things useful / keep them moving

The workbench

Ideas that were too interesting not to try.

Not everything here became a product. Some were built to test an interaction, chase an aesthetic or answer a strange question. They live here because experiments count as work too.

The person

One foot in product, one in the weird stuff.

I am a freelance web developer building at the intersection of useful systems and creative technology. Alongside client work, I run SaaS projects, an online store and experiments that are allowed to be a little strange.

Start here

Let’s build something useful and a little unusual.

Tell me what you are trying to make, what is currently stuck, or what you wish your software did better. A rough outline is plenty.
