About Me
It’s me, hi, I’m the web designer, it’s me
I’m Molly
I love to get things organised and I don’t like clutter. Please – ask me about the labelled shelves in my linen cupboard.
I got into web design because I hate seeing websites that are messy and don’t make sense.
And I got into sustainable web design because I want to help make the planet less messy and make things make more sense for its inhabitants.

My origin story
How it all began
Luckily, I didn’t have to witness a murder or fall into toxic waste to become the hero I am today.
I built my first website as a child in the late 90s. As far as I can recall, it was basically a picture of Lisa Simpson playing the saxophone on a blue background. Totally worth the pain of waiting about ten years to see each edit via dial-up.
Career-wise, it’s been a wiggly journey since then. I co-founded an ethical clothing line and a photo library, became a teacher, led forest school sessions, co-founded a social enterprise, dabbled in journalism and copywriting and finally found my way back to the joy of building websites.
Thankfully the internet is a bit faster nowadays!
What am I like?
As you can tell, I’m good at taking on new challenges, making a plan and making it happen. My brain thrives on puzzles and I love finding creative solutions to problems. I like to think I would’ve been at Bletchley Park if born at a different time.
So if you fancy working with someone who can quickly understand where you’re coming from, collaborate with you on creative ideas and then wrestle with the tech to get it done, I’m your (Bletchley) woman.
And if you need a picture of Lisa Simpson on a blue background, I’m all over it.
Why choose me?
My track record
I leave behind me a trail of happy customers, like Hansel and Gretel with bread. See some of my work and testimonials from clients on my portfolio page.
