About Me

From Melbourne, Australia I'm a freelance web designer and app developer. Safety Switch was developed for anyone who has ever felt uncomfortable walking alone late at night, or unsafe in their homes. I designed it when my girlfriend got an iPhone so she could easily let me and her friends or family know when she was in trouble. I hope you find it useful and genuinely hope you never have to use it. To find out more about me, visit my website.
