About

Builder first.

I run a small web design and AI automation studio out of Columbus, Ohio. My clients are real businesses — production companies, service companies, local operators — and my job is simple: make them look great online and make sure no lead slips through.

That means I don't just design a homepage. I build the site, connect it to a CRM, wire up an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, and automate the follow-up. One person, full stack, from pixel to phone call.

I'm self-taught and proud of it — everything on this page was learned by shipping, not by sitting in lectures. If you want someone who moves fast, communicates clearly, and treats your business like their own, let's talk.
