Hey, I'm Ovi

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I design apps and build websites. And enjoy writing things: comics and short stories, and rants (articles).

Blocks Edit is an email content editor I've designed. If you work in email marketing, you may find it useful for your production process.
I've been professionally designing and building websites and apps for over 15 years now through my company Distinctive Quality.
I'm also working with a business partner on basetime, a vetted network of developers looking for opportunities to work in the way that drives them to do their best.

Comics I've written

If you're into comics, check out a couple that I've written: Hacktivity about privacy and freedom in an age of information, and Lifehacks about using our connected world to connect with people.

Web guides I've put together

My personal guide for eating plant-based and maintaining a healthier lifestyle
For email marketing geeks, a guide to using an email template system

Blog posts/articles

On topics ranging from making art and design, to publishing, marketing and promoting online, to tech, culture, and politics, to personal growth.
