About the studio
One person.
Full attention.
Origin
Brickfront Studio exists because most of what passes for web design today is a betrayal of craft.
Templates. Builders. AI-generated layouts indistinguishable from each other. The web has never been faster to build on, and has never looked more the same.
I started this studio to be a different answer to that problem. Slower, more considered, more expensive — and better in every way that matters to a business that takes itself seriously.
Philosophy
The best websites feel inevitable — like they could not have been built any other way.
That feeling is the product of thousands of small decisions made with care: type size, line-height, the exact timing of a hover animation, the weight of a border. None of these decisions are visible on their own. Together, they're everything.
I don't think of what I do as "web design". I think of it as building the truest possible representation of a business in digital form. The goal is always: when someone lands here, do they immediately understand what this place is and why it matters?
"The details are not the details. They make the design."
Approach
Every project starts with listening. Not pitching — listening.
Before any design work begins, I want to understand your business as well as you do. Who your customers are. What they need from you. What question they're asking when they arrive at your site, and what answer they need to receive.
The design follows from that. It's not decoration applied to information — it's the form that the information takes. When the strategy is right, the design almost makes itself.
Why one person
Agencies are built for scale. I'm built for quality.
When you work with an agency, your project is typically passed through multiple hands — account manager, strategist, designer, developer — each adding their own interpretation and their own overhead. By the time the project is done, no single person has a complete view of it.
When you work with me, I hold every thread. The strategy, the design, the code, the launch. That continuity is a feature, not a limitation. The designer who made a visual decision is the same person implementing it in code — so nothing is lost in translation.

Have a project
in mind?
I take on a small number of projects each quarter — which means the ones I do take get my full attention. If your timing works, let's talk.
