Thirteen years of client work, on the record.
Alongside speaking, this is the digital studio I've run since 2013 — strategy, design, development, hosting and automation for 61 clients across Canada and the United States. Twelve engagements below get the full case-study treatment; the rest of the roster is listed in full further down.
This is the studio side of the same brain that runs the Second Brain and got read as defiant instead of distressed for four decades — thirteen years of client work, built by someone who's spent his whole life reverse-engineering systems that weren't built for him.
The case studies
Every fact below comes from the studio's own invoices and project boardsSix years as an R&B icon's on-call design department — from a booking-first rebuild of jullyblack.com to 24-hour flyer turnarounds.
A 2020 Black Friday website deal grew into a React + FastAPI platform and a self-updating website assistant six years later.
One retainer standing in for four hires — membership, design, podcasts, video and event operations, for two years running.
From a single flyer to a custom platform with an embedded video-conferencing suite, maintained for five years.
A year-long concierge build across three sites, commerce, brand systems and press kits for a working creator.
Proposal to signed retainer in a week; a full site rebuild and a custom booking experience live within three months.
Nine years across every service line — CMS migration, an SEO split across two provinces, hosting and maintenance.
A working DJ's full stack in one build — site, SEO and a chatbot — with six years of hosting still running.
A construction company's first real website, run through the full process, followed by a second site four months later.
A rush build for a restoration and consulting firm, followed by a domain, branded email and years of hosting since.
Brand, site and booking engine end to end — proposal to paid-in-full in three days, booking engine live in five.
An active build converting certification manuals into structured, publishable HTML, with a custom editing app underway.
You nailed the style and look on first take!
