Hi! I’m a web developer and Head of Digital at Nebula Design who loves all things tech. When I’m not surrounded by code, I’m probably reading up on the latest development trends or on the pottery wheel.

I got my start in technology as a self-taught web freelancer, after studying at university and joining a small agency, Nebula Design was created. I specialise in both front-end and back-end development, typically around WordPress, I’ve also got expertise in Search Engine Optimisation, Ecommerce and various emerging tech standards.

Our lucky number today is most definitely 80! The century tally at the Betfred World Championship reached 80 yesterday which means a spectacular £25,000 will be donated to Jessie May!

Our amazing supporters at Betfred pledged to donate £100 to our charity for each century break during the tournament at the Crucible (April 20th – May 6th). And if the tally reached 80, it would be rounded up to £25,000! We are thrilled Neil Robertson knocked in the 80th century and this astounding boost in funding will be coming to Jessie May.

This fantastic donation will make a world of difference to the families we are currently supporting through respite care, emotional support, end of life care and bereavement support. It also means we can welcome additional families to our caseload who need some extra help.

A huge thanks to Betfred for their generosity as well as our World Snooker, who have supported Jessie May since 2016.

We are feeling the love!
