Let's Talk
I'm always up for a good conversation — new projects, weird ideas, half-formed thoughts, or just talking shop about design in general. You don't need a fully baked pitch to reach out. Some of my favorite projects started as a pretty vague message.
Instagram usually the fastest way to find me, but I check my email and LinkedIn just as often, so don't overthink which one to use. There's no assistant screening messages and no form standing between us — whatever you send, I'll read it myself and get back to you, usually within a day or two.
Inquiry Form
Chat me on Facebook
If Messenger's already open on your phone, might as well use it — send a quick hello and I'll take it from there.
Send an email
Still the easiest way to lay out the details, especially if there's a lot to explain upfront. I'll follow up with next steps.
Message me on Instagram
If you're already scrolling there, no need to switch apps — drop a message and I'll get back to you shortly.
What's next for you?
(1) A while back, someone reached out about a site that technically "worked" but wasn't doing anything for them — no one was finding it, and the people who did land on it never stuck around long enough to care. It wasn't really a design problem or a dev problem or an SEO problem on its own. It was all three, quietly working against each other.
(2) We didn't jump straight into a proposal. I sent over a few questions first — just enough to understand what they actually wanted people to feel when they landed on the page — and once that was clear, we hopped on a call to talk it through properly. From there it turned into a full rebuild: a design that finally looked like them, code that didn't fight the design to load fast, and enough SEO groundwork that the right people could actually find it in the first place.
(3) Months later they messaged again, not about a bug or a tweak, just to say people were finally staying on the site — and reaching out. That's the part that stuck with me. It's never really just about the design, or the code, or the rankings. It's about someone finally having a site that works for them instead of just existing.
(4) So if you're sitting on a half-formed idea, or a site that isn't doing what you hoped — you don't need to have it all figured out before you say hi. That's kind of the whole point of this page.
- (1) The problem nobody could quite name
- (2) Where design, dev, and SEO stopped fighting each other
- (3) The message that made it worth it
- (4) Why you don't need it all figured out yet
The where's and how's
Based in the Philippines, but that's never really gotten in the way. Most of my work happens over email and the occasional call anyway, so in practice it doesn't matter much whether someone's a few blocks away or on the other side of the world — the process looks pretty much the same either way. If time zones don't line up perfectly, we just find a window that works for both of us; it's a small thing to sort out, not a real obstacle. I've worked with people I've never met in person and people I've sat across a table from, and honestly, the good projects have felt the same regardless. So if distance is the only thing making you hesitate to reach out — it really shouldn't be.
“I came to Chris with basically a Pinterest board and a vague feeling of what I wanted. He turned it into a site that felt more me than I could've described myself. And somehow it actually loads fast, which — if you've dealt with web people before, you know that's not a given.”
