LogoArchive is the world’s first purpose-built historical logo archive. Initially founded by Richard Baird, we teamed up and conceptualized, designed and built a new platform to both serve as source of inspiration and education for studios, agencies, designers and companies to research logos and get inspired for their branding project.

Teaming up with designers, studios, agencies and start ups I helped launch digital projects ranging from e-commerce builds to portfolio showcase websites. Projects were featured on Siteinspire, Klikkentheke, It's Nice That, Page Magazine or MaxiBestOf amongst others.

Side Projects

2022

weavve was a little/not-so-little presentation app I built after being frustrated with existing solutions that felt either too complex or too rigid in their options. Slides were designed around a pre-defined grid on which content blocks could be arranged. weavve sparked lots of interest but I quickly realized that only a small amount of alpha testers were using the software. As I am already running a spare-time project (LogoArchive) I decided to pull the trigger and shut down weavve in July 2022.

2020

A growing directory of Agencies, Design Studios, Designers, Developers, Type Foundries and other resources. The site is enjoyed by up to 10.000 monthly visitors. I am currently considering rethinking the overall experience.

Handsome-Frank is home to the worlds greatest illustrators. In close collaboration with Studio Mister I developed an animation-heavy website that makes the work of their artists the main focus. The site was featured on multiple blogs and traffic increased while we heavily improved the overall performance.

California-based startup Invoy empowers with breath science that measures fat burn faster than a bathroom scale. Accompanying a relaunched brand I was asked to develop a new site.

Editorial heavy e-commerce experience for dutch coffee brand LOT61. To avoid being restricted by Shopify templates we are syncing data to a headless CMS. The site also features a comprehensive night mode.

2020

Image and media heavy portfolio website for renown Amsterdam and Cardiff based design and brand studio Smörgåsbord. In close collaboration with Mike Sullivan who was responsible for design, I built a headless website with countless modules and templates to give the client as much as freedom as possible. The site was featured on Httpster or Sites we Like to name a few.

2020

Website and e-commerce experience for one-of-a-kind gaming console brand Analogue. The site was conceptualized and designed by Kenyon Weston.
