We have been teammates throughout our lives. It began as teens and continued into adulthood. The connection we have is part of what makes working with us so great. Our communication and collaboration skills are part of the foundational tools we utilize daily when we work with every client. Our customers feel confident that we're ready to tackle any problem pragmatically while addressing their needs.
I started programming at 11, copying BASIC games out of Compute! Gazette magazine -- this started a life-long love for writing software. I attended the University of Waterloo where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and started my 25 year career developing software at startups and Big Tech companies. I have carried this knowledge and passion into building solutions for "little big companies" that are quickly outgrowing their current software and operational infrastructure.
I see an opportunity to create art in everything I do. It's a part of my DNA to see everything through an artist's lens. My career arc has taken me through many creative avenues, starting in the Beauty Industry (for 25 years). While my full-time job kept me in the salon world, my creative core needed to explore new ways to create—interior design, drafting house plans, and a short run with designing concrete art installations. I rekindled my love of graphic design through these varied avenues and have now settled into my groove in web design.

Melle and John set up the first website for my small business and gave me a social media presence. I'm not tech-savvy and had no clue where to begin. They made it easy to manage.

Portfolio
Salon
Working with Brandy and Wine was an exciting project to revamp their web presence with a design that matched their unique brand.
Snap Dynasty Herb Company was in need of more than just digital marketing and a visual refresh. The demand for the product was high, but most of the home-grown small business practices were stretched to their limit.
Our deep technical expertise in operations and logistics helped Snap onboard new technology and processes to continue to scale, all while executing a full brand refresh across operations, website sales, distribution channels, and Amazon.
