Independents, groups and organisations I've helped create, develop and grow. Plus one company of my own, built on the same method.

A golf app I founded and built on the same create, develop, grow method I bring to clients. One Golf Passport for every course you play.

staff mealfor: me
  • create.I designed a better way to remember golf: a passport of every course you've played, architect portfolios, a bucket list, and 39 Medals to earn as you go.
  • develop.I built the app myself, start to finish: the iOS app, a course database with every architect and its history, personal stats, and push notifications.
  • grow.I launched it on the App Store in April 2026. Word of mouth among golf groups, founder-led Instagram and TikTok, and personal notes to new members built a community that has logged 7,000+ rounds in over 40 countries, designed by 1,000+ architects.
