Benefits of Working Together
Designed for growth. Tailored to your needs. Outcome-driven.
Better User Experience
User-centered design that keeps customers coming back. We focus on simplicity and minimalism, reducing friction and enhancing usability to create a seamless experience for your users.
Faster Time to Market
Launch your custom website or app in as little as a month, with monthly iterations to continue improving and expanding. I prioritize rapid, high-quality releases to help you capture market opportunities faster.
Scalable Solutions
I create systems that grow with your business. By making processes easier for your team—whether it's automating tasks or simplifying workflows—we ensure your solutions are sustainable.
Problem Solving with First Principles
I solve problems by breaking them down to their fundamental components, rather than copying what others have done. My first principles approach means each solution is uniquely suited to your challenges.
Supporting Business Education
I don't just deliver a product; I educate. I help brands that need a design engineer to understand their own technology better, empowering them to grow confidently with the right tools and insights.
Sustainable Systems for the Long Run
My solutions are built to scale and adapt, avoiding the need for major rebuilds every few years. I help you push to market or scale with systems that are designed to be future-proof, providing consistent value.
My Approach
Strategy
For the first month, we'll audit your current website, review your analytics and create a plan to rebuild your website.
Build
For the second month, we'll build out the first iteration of your website, which includes the highest priority goals.
Maintain
For the third month, we'll handle KPI tracking, building secondary pages and cleaning up leftover bugs.
One Time Project
We’ll present a few packages for your project based on your needs. Then switch to on-going if you need further support.
Great for projects with a clear scope and timeline. Works well for one-time projects.
On-going Project
We’ll build a website or app side by side, shipping new updates monthly. You’ll get unlimited revisions.
Great for projects without a clear scope and timeline. Also great for ongoing support.

Made by Porter
I'm the founder and design engineer behind Made by Porter, a service that focuses 80% on collaborating with partners and companies and 20% on building my own products. Currently, I'm working with eCommerce companies like Organics Alive and Bayam, helping them optimize their tech and design systems.
My mission is to set up systems that support businesses for the long haul, focusing on future-proofing. I ensure that the systems I implement won't need rebuilding in 3-5 years and, with proper maintenance, can last 10-15 years without major overhauls. By integrating automation and AI, I streamline processes so founders can focus on high-impact tasks or personal time, rather than getting bogged down by operational inefficiencies.
Ultimately, my work supports the transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, preparing businesses to be adaptable, efficient, and ready for the future.
