Bio
Arin Fishkin
I'm so lucky to have found Rick. I'm an independent graphic designer, which means I rely heavily on other contractors to flesh out teams as needed. If these folks do good work, it reflects well on me, and the inverse is also true. Rick knocks it out of the park at every opportunity. He knows his stuff, can translate technology for laypeople, is warm and accessible with clients, sets realistic expectations, and helps all parts of the process move along. I would work with Rick on every development project if he wasn't so in demand. Simply, he's great to work with and a master of Shopify. I could use more Ricks in my virtual rolodex.
Patrick Draplin
Great web designer and scuba instructor.
