Services
Three ways I help — usually all at once
Design, engineering and strategy are one practice here. You get a single person accountable for how the product looks, works and holds up in production.
App Development
Fast, accessible web and mobile applications engineered by the same people who designed them.
- Web apps & dashboards
- APIs & integrations
- Performance work
Consulting & Advisory
Embedded strategy for teams that need direction — audits, roadmaps and hands-on design leadership.
- Product audits
- Technical due diligence
- Team enablement
Selected work
Products I designed, built and shipped
Selected work is published from the studio dashboard — new case studies are on the way.
Process
A calm, four-step path to launch
Every engagement runs the same rhythm — weekly demos, written decisions and no surprises at the end.
- 01
Discover
One week of interviews, audits and constraint mapping. I leave with a written point of view, not a mood board.
- 02
Design
Rapid concepts in the browser. You review real interfaces early, so decisions are made on evidence.
- 03
Build
Weekly releases to a staging environment. Design and engineering happen in the same room — because they’re the same person.
- 04
Launch & evolve
I ship, measure and keep iterating — handing over documentation your team can actually run with.
The studio
Named for the moment an idea becomes real
Patent Pending Studios started with a simple frustration: great ideas kept dying between the deck and the build. So one person took on design and engineering both, and kept the studio deliberately solo.
Today I partner directly with founders and product teams who care about craft — the kind who notice the spacing, the loading state and the empty screen. That attention is the whole point.

Solo founder, senior hands
No account layers or hand-offs. The person you meet is the person who does the work.
Whitespace is a feature
I remove until only what matters is left. Clarity outperforms decoration every time.
Design that ships
Nothing is “done” in a design file. My work is measured in released, working software.
“They designed and shipped in the time our last agency spent on discovery. Six months on, the design system is still the best asset we own.”
Contact
Have something worth building?
Tell me about the idea, the deadline and what “done” looks like. I reply to every serious enquiry within two business days — usually with a few sharp questions.
