// the person behind the code

Thirty years of building by hand.

I started at 22, writing raw HTML in Notepad — before drag-and-drop builders existed, back when you shipped a site by understanding every line of it. I spent a decade in web and intranet design before I ever picked up a camera professionally.

Since then I've designed and managed hundreds of domains and sites, and I hand-code my entire brand ecosystem — studio, education, shop, and more. Builders are fine for getting started. But they're slow, they rent you your own website, and every site starts to look the same.

Brandt Media & Design is the opposite of that: sites written by hand, designed for your work specifically, fast because there's nothing bloated underneath — and handed back to you so you're never locked in.

From builder to built.

The same studio, rebuilt from the ground up. Photography Eh moved off a template builder onto a hand-coded, editorial site — faster, cleaner, and unmistakably hers.
