The Story

Design, dev and marketing — all in one person.

Most people specialise in one thing. I never could. I started in event technology — building registration platforms, apps and websites for large-scale conferences and corporate events across Australia and internationally. That meant working fast, to brief, and always with a clear business outcome in mind.

At Jomablue, I worked as Digital Marketing Coordinator, managing their WordPress website, running campaigns across LinkedIn and Google Ads, and maintaining Salesforce CRM and Mailchimp — while contributing to award-winning work recognised at the Event Technology Awards in London.

Now I'm channelling all of that into Stackly — a platform that makes professional web infrastructure, automation and marketing systems accessible to small businesses who've been priced out by agencies.

Strategy first, tools second

I start with your business goal, then figure out the simplest tech stack to achieve it. No bloat, no unnecessary complexity.

Automation is baked in

Every website I build is connected. Forms talk to CRMs. Bookings trigger emails. Leads get followed up automatically.

You work directly with me

No account managers, no offshore teams, no briefing three people to get one thing done. It's just me — and I take that seriously.
