Although our meet the team series ended last week, we have a special surprise as today is International Dog Day! 🐶

We’ve decided to bring back the series for one final time to give you a proper introduction to our new office dog, Timone!

Timone shares some facts about himself below (with the help of his owner - our Project Manager, Jess)…

1. I share my name with the meerkat from The Lion King because I’m basically a sideways meerkat, low to the ground but always on the lookout.

2. I love long walks and sharing Jess’s snacks because sharing is caring.

3. Deep down I secretly believe I’m a Great Dane so I bark as loud as I can to remind everyone I’m the boss.

My job in the office:

I’m the official stair alarm 🚨 I bark when someone’s coming and make sure everyone takes regular breaks by demanding belly rubs and ear scratches.

My special skill:

No one, and I mean no one, can zoom across the floor faster than me when there's a tea towel to chase.

MEET THE TEAM

Finally, for the last introduction in our Meet The Team series - we have our Lead Developer and 1/3 of our founding team, Joe!

3 things about me:

1. I built a virtual pinball machine this year, and playing has become part of my nightly routine.

2. I code for a living and as a pastime, usually under the watchful eye of my very opinionated tech-savvy cat.

3. I’ve always had a taste for hot food - the more chillies, the better.

What I do:

I take requirements from our clients and mockups from our design team, and based on those I build and deploy bespoke websites and services, covering everything from brochures to e-commerce and internal business systems.

What I’m best at:

Leveraging frameworks and engineering fresh builds. As a full stack developer I’m equally happy working on an eye-catching front-end or engineering a business service.

NEW LAUNCH 🧘‍♂️

Recently we completed a new site for Bill Wood Yoga. We created a bespoke WordPress website with a tailored subscription model, and password-protected area - enabling Bill to offer enhanced online content alongside in-person classes, thus enabling him to grow his business in new ways.

Bill Wood Yoga is based in Totnes and is renowned for delivering thoughtful, professional yoga classes and resources, blending a deep understanding of yoga philosophy with practical, accessible classes.

The new site positions Bill Wood Yoga as a leader in both digital and in-person yoga instruction, offering a seamless experience for subscribers of the online site and students seeking in-person yoga.

MEET THE TEAM

Next up is our developer Matt, it’s Matt’s birthday today so we’re wishing him an awesome day while he contends with an inflatable obstacle course in North Devon! 🤙

3 facts about me:

I love getting out on the water in our speed boat, either exploring East Devon's coastlines or attempting to waterski.

In the summer, you'll usually find me checking out the best local pub gardens (bonus points if there's a good view)

I'm a bit of a theme park nerd and try to head to one a few times a year, including a yearly trip to Europe. So far I've done 1 in Poland, 2 in Germany and we're planing to go to 3 in France next year.

What I do:

I’m a web developer which means I take the designs from our talented design team and turn them into fully working websites. I make sure everything looks great and works smoothly.

What I'm best at:

The thing I love most about my job is coming up with solutions that work - Whether it's fixing a tricky bug or figuring out the best way to build something, I like to get stuck in and make sure it works.

Last week our team visited one of our clients, Plant World, located just outside Newton Abbot, to discuss the new e-commerce site we are creating for them.

We love visiting our clients in person to get a real feel of their brand and get the chance to have a deep dive into their project. Not to mention, getting to enjoy some beautiful views of the South Devon countryside!

Stay tuned for the new site - coming soon! 🌱

MEET THE TEAM

Next in our meet the team series is the guy behind it all, our Managing Director, Jake! It's Jake's birthday today so a massive Happy Birthday is in store! While Jake enjoys surfing in Portugal today, we get an insight into what he's into when he's not dashing around the office...

Hi, I’m Jake - MD at Studio Illicit. I keep things moving behind the scenes and make sure the creative chaos stays (mostly) organised.

3 facts about me:

🏄‍♂️ I’m usually in the sea - surfing or getting dragged around by a kite.

🥁 I play guitar and drums. Loud music = quiet mind

⚽ Fussball Office Champion. Unbeaten reign of terror

What does your role involve?

As the MD, I steer the team, and help keep our standards sky-high, while making sure the vibe’s good and the work’s flowing.

What’s something you’d say you’re best at?

Zooming out to see the big picture, and zooming in when the details matter. Juggling multiple situations, with untethered ADHD.
