I sold my first digital agency, Websterpeace, to Tiny — a publicly-traded holdco based in Victoria, BC, home to brands like Dribbble, MetaLab, AeroPress, Creative Market, DoubleUp, and more than 30 other wonderful brands. Afterwards, I partnered with Tiny founder Andrew Wilkinson to build 8020: A new type of digital studio — focused on breaking the traditional agency model and empowering marketing teams to move faster without code, costly engineering resources, and time consuming constraints. We help brands and influencers with strategy, design, development (Webflow), e-commerce and more. You've probably heard of some of our clients, including influencers like Dr. Andrew Huberman, Ellen DeGeneres, Hasan Minhaj, Chance the Rapper and established brands like Pilot.com, Wave (H&R Block), Warner Bros, LivePerson, and Q2. In my free time, I’m trying to become fluent in Spanish (400+ days on Duolingo!), finishing my pilot’s license (and trying to fly helicopters), bumbling my way through skiing, and taking motorcycle trips whenever I can.
