About Private by Design

Helping everyday people reclaim their digital privacy, one practical tip at a time.

Private by Design is a small, values-driven project dedicated to helping individuals — especially parents — build better digital habits without getting overwhelmed.

We believe that privacy isn’t about fear, guilt, or going off the grid. It’s about making conscious, informed choices in the digital world — and learning to ask better questions along the way.

This project was started by Craig, a privacy-minded software developer and dad who got tired of watching people feel helpless online. What began as a side project has grown into a mission: provide simple, trustworthy resources that help people feel more in control of their digital lives.

Whether you’re signing up for your first password manager, talking to your kids about social media, or just trying to stop getting weird ads after every conversation — we’re here for you.

If you’re curious, cautious, or completely new to the privacy conversation, you’re in the right place.
