About

Built with intention.

Storyr is an independent design and development studio. The work sits between product thinking, interface design and technical delivery.

Every project is handled directly by the person who designs and builds it — no account managers, no handoffs, no layers.

The goal isn’t to make something trendy. It’s to make something useful, durable and effective.

  • Design + development, in one place
  • Senior-led, start to finish
  • UK-based, working worldwide
  • 6+ years
  • 100% senior-led
  • 0 handoffs

FAQ

  • How do we get started?

    Click the “Start a Project” button and fill out the form or book a call.
    We’ll discuss the project, scope the work, and confirm the next steps.

  • How long do projects usually take?

    Most projects take between 1–6 weeks, depending on complexity and feedback speed.
    Landing pages are typically faster, while full websites and brand systems require more time.

  • How many revisions are included?

    Two revision rounds are included in most projects.
    Additional revisions can be added if required.

    The goal is to refine efficiently, not endlessly iterate.

  • Do you also handle development?

    Yes.

    I design and build many projects end-to-end, including custom WordPress builds with scalable component systems.
    If development isn’t required, design handover is provided via Figma.

  • What platforms do you build on?

    Most websites are built using custom WordPress setups with component-based architecture.

    This allows sites to be fast, flexible, and easy for clients to manage after launch.

  • What do you need from me to start?

    Typically:

    • a short discovery call

    • basic project goals

    • any existing brand assets or content

    From there I handle structure, design, and build.

  • How does payment work?

    Projects usually follow a 50 / 50 structure.

    50% deposit to begin.
    50% before launch.

    This keeps projects moving and aligned.

  • Do you work with international clients?

    Yes.
    I’m based in the UK but regularly work with teams in different time zones.

  • Do you take on many projects at once?

    No.

    I take on a limited number of projects at any time to keep work focused and responsive.
