What I build

The work most teams can't staff in-house

01

WebGL & 3D

Three.js, React Three Fiber, custom GLSL shaders, image displacement, interactive scenes.

02

Motion & interaction

GSAP timelines, ScrollTrigger, pinned sections, page transitions, magnetic micro-interactions.

03

Headless front-end

Next.js with Strapi, WordPress or Sanity. Editable content, scalable architecture.

04

Performance & a11y

60fps motion with green Core Web Vitals on mid-range phones. Reduced-motion respected.

Who I work with

Whether you are launching a brand, running an agency, or realising a design, the goal is the same: a site that performs and gets remembered.

Founders & startups

A launch that makes people stop

Concept to shipped brand site, with the motion and polish that earns attention and trust on day one.

Agencies & studios

White-label motion & WebGL

Your client, your brand. I build the 3D and interaction you can't staff in-house, under NDA, on time. A reliable recurring partner.

Brand & marketing teams

Campaign & product microsites

Sites that turn a budget into a result, engineered to perform on real devices, not just look good in a deck.

Designers

Your concept, built faithfully

A developer who realises Awwwards-level designs to the last easing curve, then makes them fast and accessible.

Pricing

Premium, scoped and honest

Real 2026 ranges for a freelance creative developer (design and build), no agency overhead. Bring a finished design and the developer-only portion is lower.

Custom landing page
$3k - $5k

One bespoke page with custom design and motion.

  • GSAP scroll reveals
  • Micro-interactions
  • Fast, responsive build
Award-level / WebGL
$8k +

Flagship build: 3D, shaders and choreography.

  • Three.js / WebGL & GLSL
  • Bespoke everything
  • Awwwards-caliber polish

How it works

01

Scope

A short call to pin down references, page count, motion depth and timeline. You get a tight quote, not a vague "it depends".

02

Design & build

Clear, proactive updates while I build the design, motion and WebGL together, with performance budgeted from the start.

03

Launch & handover

A fast, accessible site shipped on time, plus a clean handover so your team can run it.

Trusted by designers & studios

Have been working with Hon for the past 7 years on so many projects since I was just a new designer. All I can say that he's a dream for every designer. I always have some new challenges for him whenever we start a new project and he's always ready for them, solve them and translate my ideas into the real pixels correctly, often even better than I expected. Definitely one of the best full-stack developer out there. Recommend him for any website projects, from basic to high level of interaction and motion.
Huy Phan
Designer · Awwwards Jury
My studio has launched three projects with Hon as the Lead Developer. As a non-technical person, I find it very easy to work with Hon. He always explains what's possible and what's not ahead of time, communicating every step of the way. He's committed to excellence and has never let me or the team down. I definitely recommend Hon for any project that requires pushing the envelope and creativity.
Oliver Muñoz

Hon is a phenomenal front-end developer. I had the opportunity to work with him on a couple of my projects - including minhpham.design, which received multiple awards. I saw firsthand his ability to craft award-winning, top-notch websites and landing pages that truly stood out. He's a huge asset to any team.
