Hello, I’m Sean!
I’m a self-taught web developer & designer based in Bend, OR.
Welcome to web design done differently.
I help healthcare professionals and other creative solopreneurs make the transition into small business ownership through authentic branding and effective Squarespace website design.
Where you’re at
You’re afraid of taking the leap into building a personal brand.
Fear of being exposed and vulnerable as a solopreneur.
You’ve never done this before and you’re asking “Is this the right investment?”
Where you want to be
Involved and passionate about creating YOUR brand and YOUR online presence.
Be willing to be vulnerable with your work and your product.
A website that attracts relevant clients and makes you PROUD to be doing what you’re doing.
I get to
My vision
take a brand and create that gorgeous combo of weird authority. You get to come as you are but you know your shit.
build a digital storefront with your face on it. That’s a privilege.
give the gift of good design to a new human.
have fun and share that joy with you. We’re making art here and I invite you to
I’m a website developer and designer for healthcare solopreneurs and small business owners who’re looking to put the fun back into the creative process. You may have noticed I don’t have the usual “web dev” profile, and there’s a good reason for that.
Before I jumped into all this design stuff, I worked as a critical care and perioperative nurse in hospitals on both coasts. A decade, a pandemic, two kids, and some serious soul searching gave me new perspective.
After taking what I’ve lately referred to as a year-and-a-half sabbatical, I've rediscovered what I thought I’d given up a long time ago: my creative self. Once I’d designed and built a website for a small business my wife and I started, that was it.
I now get to combine what I think of are the best parts of myself into a career: the holistic mind of a dedicated and compassionate healthcare professional with the goofy heart of an artist and entertainer. That is what I offer.
My past
Portfolio

A little love and some fine tuning was all that was needed to bring this writer’s site to the next level.

Some kind words
Happy humans
“Sean is not only one of the nicest people I've ever met - he's FAST, a great designer, easy to work with [in fact I felt like he read my mind and I barely gave any instruction] and super cost effective. He's currently working on my exec branding content and created all of my podcast pages in addition to pages that require payments!
He redesigned my whole website after a move from Wordpress to Squarespace and is my "go to" now for all thing web / design / UI.”
“Sean is a pleasure to work with, kind, patient, and listens beautifully. He took my Squarespace website from "fine" looking to smooth and professional, adding the small details that gave it sparkle while advising on the next step to build out. He was also excellent at following up when I slowed down in responses due to deadlines in a non-pressuring, genuinely helpful way.
He did what he said he was going to do, easily and for a good price point, and I will be calling him when I need more work done. Highly recommended.”
