About

A decade of learning what keeps people watching.

I'm Joe, a video editor and web designer based in Henley-on-Thames. Editing for a large audience teaches you to respect people's time: get to the point, make it clear, make it look good. I bring the same thinking to websites. Clear, fast, easy to use on a computer and phone, and built so the right people can find them.

Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
