I run osoro, a one-person studio in Switzerland.

Most projects lose something in the handoff. The design gets approved, then a developer who was not in the room rebuilds it approximately, and the thing that made it good quietly disappears. I do both halves, so that gap never opens.

In practice that means I take a Figma file or a rough brief and hand back a finished, deployed site. Framer when speed and client editing matter. Astro, React and Tailwind on Cloudflare when it needs to be fast and custom. GSAP when the scroll has to do real work.

Recent work: a Swiss practitioner's site I designed, built, and still host and maintain, a hospitality brand where five separate listings became one place, and a password-gated client portal that runs on Notion alone and generates Swiss QR invoices.

I am Swiss-trained, I work in German, English and Spanish, and I answer my own email.

Available Monday to Thursday, roughly 20 hours a week. Central European Time, and I overlap comfortably with US Eastern. New projects can start within a week.
