Web development requires a broad range of knowledge and skills. Segregating designers from coders from engineers results in conflicting goals and shallow solutions. We focus on our areas of expertise, but maintain a cross-disciplinary skillset. We think about the big picture.

We are Lara Devitt and Dwayne Holmberg. As independent— yet inseparable— freelancers, we have collaborated on projects since the late nineties, jet-setting via internet to New York, Paris, Geneva, and a few places in between. In 2008, we decided to finally make our long-time "freelance romance" official: thus, OM was born.

Together, we have crafted identity sites, e-commerce solutions, content management systems and a wide range of online tools. Big and small, they were all loved equally.

Dwayne Holmberg is OM's lead programmer and project manager. He thinks about solutions before tools and people before code. Unlike many programmers who sequester themselves behind that iron veil that divides machinery from humans, Dwayne prefers an open process that honours both. He has hands-on experience leading all stages of advanced web site and web applications development, including requirements definition, design, architecture, testing and support.
Lara Devitt is in charge of user experience (UX) design and front-end development. Since starting her first web company nearly two decades ago, she has led or participated in hundreds of web projects. She keeps up with the latest front-end tools and techniques, knowledge she uses to follow her passion for building beautiful, intuitive, and easy to use web sites. Lara is also a back end developer; she has coded several in-house projects and is an active contributor at Drupal.org, an open source developer community.
