A place for
my work.
And my cats.

Hi, I’m the person behind fivecats.
I design websites, build apps, and love books and my five cats. This is where I share what I’m working on.

A FEW THINGS FROM MY DESKHere’s what I’m working on

FROM MY DESK

Things I’m making.

I’m developing an app for book lovers and poets.
The name is staying under wraps for now.
Here’s a little of its visual direction.

YOUR LITTLE CORNER OF CLARITY☀

A good thought.
Worth keeping.

A space for the things that stay with you.

Sketch a quieter reading view.
Leave room for a sleeping cat.

STUDIO NOTE / CONCEPT PREVIEW
Collected thoughts, connected.↗
a possible direction, not the finished app

For book lovers & poets

An app in development. Name to be revealed.

In the making
APP DEVELOPMENTPRODUCT DESIGN
A peek behind the project

I’m building this app for book lovers and poets. I’m keeping its name private for now, but sharing a little of the visual direction as it takes shape. It’s still in development, with no public release just yet.

WORKING TOGETHER

What I can
help with.

We don’t need a perfect brief to begin.
A description of what you’re trying to do
is a useful place to start.

i.

A website of your own

Planning the pages, designing how they look, and building a site that works on phones as well as larger screens.

ii.

An app idea to work through

Figuring out what belongs in a first version, then designing and developing the parts people will actually use.

iii.

Getting the details right

Readable type, clear navigation, and movement that helps rather than gets in the way. Small decisions, but you notice them.

A BIT ABOUT ME

Books, browsers,
and these five.

I’m a book lover who loves her five cats. Like them, I’m mostly asleep but often curious. I’m also designing websites and developing an app for book lovers and poets. Fivecats is a place to bring those parts of my life together.

The name was the easy part: Eve, Chimney, Mr. Sheriff, Samu, and Bandit. Here they are, in a slightly less furry format.
