Building to change the world for the better through design for early stage and growth stage companies.

I have a strong belief that entrepreneurs and the companies that they build are the catalyst for raising the quality of life for the entirety of the human race. My passion is helping these individuals do exactly that.

Outside of my career of helping entrepreneurs and early stage companies or startups with their design + strategies, I'm usually out mountain biking in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado.

This does three things for the entire team: In the short term, it allows you to see who might have too much on their plate and who might have too little on their plate for the week. In the long term, it helps you learn about each member’s energy and work cycles (EX. John is typically really motivated and has lots of stuff to do for two-ish weeks.

I recommend using Webflow for 90% of people as long as they have basic experience with other editor interfaces such as Photoshop, Illustrator or even PowerPoint. Webflow is on the bleeding edge of no-code web design and continues to innovate faster than any of the other services trying to copy...
