Design systems & brand
Identity, tokens and reusable components. I was building design.orange.com before "design system" was a recognised term.
A one-person design studio
with 20+ years behind it.
Twenty-plus years of enterprise UX and design systems. These days I run it solo — an independent studio working in English and German, with clients across the UK, Germany and Poland. Here's some recent work, and how to reach me.
- mAbV Biotherapeutics Biotech · Oxford collaboration
- STR Technologies AI-connected Shopify store
- Tartak Płońsk Bilingual industrial site
- Steve Apps Personal brand site
What I do
Websites & e-commerce
From first sketch to a fast, live site — semantic HTML, performance budgets, accessibility as standard.
SEO & AI search
Found in Google and in AI answers — structured data, citation-ready copy, checked with real audits.
Strategy & delivery
One senior operator with an AI-augmented workflow — the output of a full studio, with no hand-offs.
Featured work
Real projects, as shipped — each one designed, built and delivered from one desk.
mAbV
Brand and digital presence for an antibody startup working with Oxford University. The catch: it was still in stealth, so the identity and landing page had to say enough to build trust without making one clinical claim.

Two platforms, one operator
WordPress
Five years running Orange's global WordPress platform, for a design community five thousand strong. Agentic tools are making that skill worth picking back up.
Case study →
Shopify
A live Shopify store, built and run end to end with Claude Code — from the CLI to daily catalogue work, no developer on call.
Case study →The operator
Twenty-plus years in enterprise UX and design systems, including a long stretch building them inside a big European telecoms group. That work quietly shapes the OGANIKO Design System I use now.
Today it's just me, handling everything end to end — based in the EU, working in English and German, with clients across the UK, Germany and Poland.
I don't take on many projects, but I'm always on the lookout for an interesting one.
Let's talk
I take on a small number of projects a year — enough to give each one the founder's full attention. If you have one in mind, a short email is the quickest start.
