About
About
Hi, I'm Carl.
I'm an Australian designer and developer with 30 years in print and digital. I've led UX and UI for start-ups and large companies, run marketing for a boutique fabric house, and built more than a hundred websites and apps. These days I live in Thailand, work with clients all over the world, and run my own studio and platform, Output/Input.
How I work
Three things I won't compromise on.
Design has a job to do
Pretty is the easy part. Every screen should get someone closer to buying, booking or getting in touch.
One person, start to finish
You talk to the person who designs it and builds it. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a designer and a developer.
Built to be looked after
Launch day is the start. What I build is easy to change, and I'm still here when it needs to.
