Independent designer & creative developer building digital products with depth.

Things I’ve built with care

Four recent projects across fintech, audio, research and retail. Each one started with a question about how a product should feel.

(02) About

I’m Rowan, an independent designer and developer. For nine years I’ve helped teams turn complex products into interfaces that feel physical, calm and a little bit joyful.

Before going independent I led design at product studios in Lisbon and London, shipping work for banks, hardware makers and research labs. I still work like a studio of one: research, design and front-end under the same roof.
