  1. Termush - a dystopian novella

    I mean I am so astute when it comes to writing and English that I had never heard of a Novella :) I can get on board with a short story, especially if it is super bleak.

  9. 30 Days of running

    "What could possibly go wrong! After being 16 seconds off my personal goal of a 25min 5k before lockdown I haven't ran at all since. Obviously the best way to jump start things is by trying to run in some form for every day in September."

  10. No news is good news

    The weeks leading up to lockdown were a blur of shifting sands of work sources, projects changing and agencies suffering. Sadly the one I had been regularly helping out had seen their projects stall and as such I was a first thing to be cut.

Why work with me?

Lot's of people have design or development skills, so why would you want to use me? Both the process, and what I can deliver is different depending on if you are a person or business looking for a web designer or an agency looking to bring in some external resources. Pick a route below to learn more.

What my clients say

"There are plenty of designers and web developers who I could choose to work with, but almost no one who I would trust with the passwords to my servers. No one, that is, except Sush Kelly.

Sure, he understands design. Yes, he can write code. But, most importantly, he's someone I trust with my work. And you should to."

Andy Clarke - Stuff & Nonsense
Andy Clarke

"Sush has been working with us to provide freelance frontend development support since the start of 2023.

Although Sush is a highly qualified developer in his own right, he recognised the value in investing upfront time to get to know our team and learn our coding practices (even the bits that live in peoples heads!)

This has meant that he has been able to deliver high quality work that meets our quality standards, in a fairly self-sufficient way. Along with his personable manner, and his history in project management - therefore an awareness of the wider context, Sush is a real joy to work with."

You may have heard of York Supplies. They have been in the news. Trading in the vibrant Birmingham suburb of Kings Heath since 1947, the very special hardware store and garden centre faced closure upon the retirement of the current owners. This is how we saved it.

    How grey can you go?
