James Conte
Web Designer & Engineer
Designer-engineer building considered web experiences for ambitious founders, agencies, and service businesses. Independent practice since 2015. My engineering background brings systems-thinking and structural rigour to digital craft — the same way I approach a building, I approach a website.
