About Us

Hello, my name Dean Rice, I am the founder of Novobarn, a one-man design agency.
‍
I started Novobarn in 2017 to create visually engaging websites that perform well in search engines and turn visitors into customers.

I work directly with every client, ensuring a smoother collaboration, clear communication, and a more enjoyable project from start to finish.
‍
I take on a limited number of projects to ensure every client gets my full attention.

Every project begins with goals and a strategy, built around your needs. All within a well-structured process and collaboration that achieves those goals and gets the results we are after.
‍
I believe that great design, with authentic branding and the right messaging has the ability to make people say "this is the one for me".
If we do that then we have a very successful project.
