About

Small studio, senior hands on every project.

I started Ochrea after a decade in agencies, wanting fewer meetings and more making. Today I partner with a tight network of writers, developers and photographers, assembled around each brief.

The work is calm, typographic and built to last. The process is open: you see everything as it happens, and nothing is handed to a junior once the contract is signed.

Good questions

Still curious? Send a note and you will hear back within two working days.

How soon can we start?

Projects are usually booked four to six weeks ahead. Smaller sprints can sometimes slot in sooner, so it is always worth asking.

Do you work with clients abroad?

Yes. Most projects are remote, with calls scheduled across time zones and a shared board where you can follow progress.

Can you build the website too?

Websites are designed and built on WordPress, so you can edit every page yourself after launch without touching code.

How do payments work?

Fixed-scope projects are split into a deposit to book your slot and the balance on delivery. Retainers are billed monthly.
