Thisisablock

Based in Bremen, Germany, Thisisablock is the practice of Adrian Block, a designer and coder working on web, e-commerce, hybrid and native app projects, along with interdisciplinary "crossover" work that combines these areas. As a one-person operation, the studio is suited to clients seeking direct, hands-on involvement in design and development rather than a larger multi-department agency structure. The work covers development and interface design across web, iOS and OS X platforms, using frameworks such as Laravel, Drupal, Shopware, Magento, React, React Native, Ionic and VueJS. Programming languages applied include PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JS, Objective-C, Swift, C++, Arduino and OpenGL, reflecting a range spanning standard web builds to native mobile and hardware-adjacent projects. Beyond coding and design execution, services extend to consulting, optimization, training, concept development and prototyping, indicating involvement across earlier and later stages of a project rather than implementation alone. The e-commerce focus is supported through platforms like Shopware and Magento, while mobile work spans both hybrid approaches (via ReactNative and Ionic) and native iOS development using Swift and Objective-C. The combination of design and coding under one practitioner points to projects handled end-to-end, from interface concepts through to technical build.
