Freelance since 2021. Before that, product design at a booking start-up and six years at studios and agencies here in Pellbridge.

Hello, I’m Juno.

I’m a designer who codes, or a developer who designs, depending on who’s asking. Either way, I do both halves of a website myself, which means the thing you approve is the thing that goes live.

Most of my clients are small: a bakery with three shops, a library charity, a two-person candle studio. They don’t need a big agency, they need someone who listens, asks awkward questions early and answers emails.

Away from the desk I run the Pellbridge Code Club, swim in the lido far too early in the morning and am slowly restoring a 1970s typewriter.
