Projects
The future of public transportation
Solving traffic in cities, today.
All the technology necessary to make public transportation safe, easy and ubiquitous is already here. Waiting on future tech or big companies to solve urban transportation will only make our cities less livable.
With urban communities at a breaking point and public services overwhelmed, it's time for the private industry to step up with actionable solutions to alleviate the scourge of poverty and homlessness in our cities.
In many legacy industries, resistance to change and new tech creates a competitive disadvantage. The Digital Engagement Platform was created to help old school management consultants interact with their clients.
COLLABORATION for REMOTE TEAMS
A Scrum/Kanban system built on Miro
With so many tools available for production teams, it's hard to find a system that's both robust and lightweight. We built a custom project management system using the online platform Miro that allows our location-independent team to interact effortlessly.
Assisted Vejo in launching their hi-tech blender and pod subscription service on Shopify Plus. Because who doesn't need a bluetooth-enabled, portable smoothie maker?

VarsityBooks.com
It all started with a dream of taking textbook sales online. $40 million dollars and 5 years later, Mr. Bezos told us to hold his beer.
He came, he saw, he conquered. Our web and mobile platforms were a mess as we were expanding to new cities. Pete was able to come up with a plan to help us quickly clean it up, reuse most of what we had already done and made it all look beautiful.
