      • Feb 2021 - Present

      I'm the founder of JOERTS - a unique social enterprise upcycling denim and giving back to the community. HOW IT WORKS: Your JOERTS are already in your closet... I hijack your old jeans, hack off the legs, and give them a new life as a piece of limited edition "anti-fashion". It's sustainable. It's thrift. It's punk. Your jeans are dead. Long live your JOERTS. https://www.joerts.com/ • https://www.instagram.com/getjoerts/ I'm the founder of JOERTS - a unique social enterprise upcycling denim and giving back to the community.

      • Mar 2010 - Oct 2015

      Polymathic built scalable software for non-technical entrepreneurs. We were like a remote CTO team for hire. We grew the company to a team of 13 senior-level developers, designers, and writers. I led all of our branding, user experience design, and business strategy for over 35 clients across the country. We helped them launch their products, raise investment dollars, and build their internal tech teams. On the side, we ran community-building programs to foster greater connectivity in Chicago's tech ecosystem through vulnerable discussion, shared experiences, and collaborative projects. Show less
