Useful before flashy.
Start with the problem, not a feature list. Make the important action easy.
Independent by design
Independent. Intentional. Built around you.
I’m Marc, an independent designer and developer. I help businesses make their offer easier to understand and founders turn a focused idea into a working web product.

Design and code. Not separate conversations.
You work directly with the person designing and building your project. I connect the interface, the content and the systems behind them, with a clear scope and reviewable progress. The handover matters too: the work should stay understandable when you return to it.
Direct collaboration
You work with me, from first idea to final detail.
Honest scope
If something is out of scope or not worth building, I’ll say so.
Work you can inspect
Live demos and documented builds, not a logo wall.
A few things worth getting right.
Less ceremony. More clarity. Thoughtful decisions from the first conversation to the final detail.
Evidence before claims.
Show the working experience. Make limitations and next steps visible.
Care in the details.
Think about permissions, failure states, and what happens after the happy path.
Keep learning.
Build, test, reflect. Bring what the work teaches into the next version.
Building is how I think.
Independent tools, community projects, and notes from the work. Distinct contexts, one curious practice.
Tools that do one thing well.
Small, focused tools can be useful without becoming large platforms.

For hiring teams.
I build and ship web applications end to end: the interface, the back end and the security between them. These records show the architecture, the decisions and the tests.
