Portfolio · Websites

42 websites I have built.

Every venture, lab, fund, festival and half-serious experiment I run needs a front door, so I build it: the positioning, the copy, the design and the code. Most of these are static sites written end to end and shipped in a day or two — which is also how I prototype a business before committing to it.

If you are here to judge whether I can make an unfamiliar idea legible to strangers, this page is the honest sample.

Ventures, products & funds

Companies, funds and products I founded or built the public face of.

Haus

A pre-seed biotech fund, plus Biopunk, its live-in accelerator in San Francisco: wet lab, cohorts and first cheques. Multi-page site with the programme, portfolio, a visa guide and a skill tree.

This is what fast looks like.

If you need someone who can take a half-formed idea, name it, write it, build the thing and put it in front of people — on your stage or inside your team — that is the work I take on.
