About / Robert Baxter

Making complex things
feel considered.

I’m an independent designer and full-stack developer based in Cornwall. I work with businesses and agencies that need one person to hold the thread from structure and visual direction through to code, CMS, and launch.

Before the web, I built game systems and worked in structural design. Both taught me the same lesson: the invisible decisions are usually the ones that make the finished thing feel right.
