Well, I'm the lean, keen opposite of that. Working with you directly to create tailored strategies that help you and your team leapfrog over doubt. From A to B to you tell me. Focused mainly on digital marketing, UX, ecomm and front-end web design... but ask me about automation and AI to watch me nerd out. I work best with direct input from founders and key members of their team. Creating tailored packages that are purpose built for the whole business, so they're fit for purpose from day one. I don't gate information or funnel you into the next deal when we're in the middle of one already. I offer expertise, real talk and gumption at fair prices. Becoming a part of your team, for a time. Helping amazing people like you do BIG things their own way. And if I do my part right, you'll think of me next time you want to get from A to B to you tell me... •••
