Hey,I'mToby!Isketchcodeintolife.

I blend bold lines, bright colors, and clean code to bring playful digital characters and high-converting creative websites to life. By day, I build visual identities and custom frontends. By night, I sketch doodles and animate stars in my sketchbook.

Who's Toby?

Meet the Sketchbook Character

Toby • In Action ✏️

“Coding is just drawing in coordinates. Designing is writing stories with outlines!”

Creative Developer, Vector Painter & Problem Solver

I'm a multidisciplinary builder who loves thick brushstrokes and clean React/Astro layouts. I believe client interfaces shouldn't look like generic templates spat out by AI tools. Instead, we should create digital worlds with distinct branding, rich hover dynamics, and memorable comic styles that clients actually talk about.

Over the past 6+ years, I've worked with indie game studios, craft soda brands, and educational institutions to spark personality into their web experiences. Let's make something remarkable together.

B
Brand Identity Thick outlines and memorable sticker-like assets.
U
UI/UX Sketching Designing quirky but conversion-focused user interfaces.

Sketchbook Manifesto

1
Bold Lines, No Boring Layouts Standard web layouts are a snoozefest. I use high-contrast outlines and organic shapes to make sure your brand leaps off the screen and gets remembered.
2
Fast, Playful, and Functional Fun doesn't mean slow. My builds are highly optimized under the hood, ensuring lightning-fast load times alongside responsive, delightful micro-animations.
3
Collaboration is a Team Sport I work closely with studios, agencies, and brave founders to translate wild ideas into structured, production-ready design assets and components.
