Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month

Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

What I do - Robb Owen

From interaction design to scaleable design systems, single-page apps to something more experimental with WebGL. I help awesome people to build ambitious yet accessible web projects

Internet Friends gather at #webdevconf

8 humans from around the world assemble in a 2 by 4 grid in Bristol against a backdrop of trees by the water. They are smiling with accomplishment at the gathering. They embody all that is good about the world and life itself. Their love is pure and their faces cannot hide it.

Hey #WDC2025, if you want a talk to watch on the way home, my talk from @heypresents.com was published today!

I make some Daft Punk with a MIDI controller and a web browser.

Hey! Presents @heypresents.com · 6d

Not only that, but we managed to interrupt a movie playing in the screen next door with the volume of the demo. It certainly woke us all up before heading off to the social. It sounded incredible! Watch the talk and find out more here:
