Drake Design Studio is Bobby Drake, an Amsterdam-based designer and developer with 15+ years of experience in web development, e-commerce, branding, and cloud infrastructure.
Websites that don't just sit there; they move people. I build professional, user-friendly sites from concept to launch, with UX and UI design baked in from the first wireframe. Every site is built on modern, open-source platforms that pair seamlessly with Junovy hosting, so your site has a reliable home from day one.
Sell online without the headaches. I build Shopify stores that look premium, convert well, and are ready for search engines from day one. From theme customisation and product catalogue setup to checkout optimisation and third-party integrations, I handle the full build; including rescue projects when you need to go live fast.
Your brand is more than a logo; it's your story in motion. I build complete brand identities including logos, colour palettes, typography systems, and design guidelines that create consistency across every touchpoint. Whether you're starting fresh or evolving an existing brand, I help you make an unforgettable impression.
A beautiful website is worth nothing if nobody finds it. Every site I build is set up for search from the start: on-page SEO, schema markup, structured data, fast load times, and Google indexing readiness. For existing sites, I run audits and fix what's holding you back.
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, I build from scratch. Full-stack web applications in React, TypeScript, Go, and Python, deployed on modern cloud infrastructure. Registration systems, client portals, custom admin tools, AI integrations via MCP servers; whatever your business actually needs, built for how you actually work.
Your website needs a reliable home, and your business needs tools that don't chain you to Big Tech. Through Junovy (junovy.com), I offer EU-sovereign hosting, custom application hosting, and a full business suite: cloud storage, video meetings, team chat, and document editing. All open-source, all GDPR-compliant, all hosted in Europe.

Hi, I'm Bobby Drake, the person behind Drake Design Studio in Amsterdam. I've been building for the web for over 15 years, and along the way I've picked up a pretty wide toolkit: design, front-end and back-end development, cloud architecture, and the kind of infrastructure work most design studios outsource or avoid altogether.
That range matters because when you work with me, you work with me directly; not an account manager, not a project coordinator passing notes to a hidden team. You get one person who can design the brand, build the site, set up the hosting, and keep it running afterwards. Fewer handoffs, clearer decisions, and a website that's built to last.
I specialise in websites and e-commerce stores (Shopify and open-source alike), brand identity systems, SEO, and custom web applications in React, TypeScript, Go, and Python. Whether you need a marketing site that actually gets found on Google, a Shopify store ready to launch before a trade show, or a custom tool built around how your business actually works, I can take it from first sketch to live deployment.
Every site I build can be hosted through Junovy, my EU-sovereign hosting and business suite. That means your website, your team chat, your video meetings, and your document editing can all live under one roof; open-source, GDPR-compliant, and hosted in Europe. Design, host, maintain; one partner for the whole journey.
