The work, in long form.

Six partnerships across web, brand and photography. Each began as a project and became a relationship, most still are. What follows is a field log: the long-running cases, then the back catalogue.

Blackbird Yoga teacher meeting in a sunlit studio
Active partnership 2020, Present
Blackbird Yoga

A neighborhood studio that competes like a brand.

Bookings, teacher bios and a warm brand translated to web through a brand pivot, a pandemic and a subscription product still in the pipeline. The longest-active partnership on the roster, proof that real ones compound.

Smaller chapters from the field. Some are still up; some helped a team move on. Case studies for a few are in the studio.

  1. 04
    Craft & Commerce
    Brand · Web · 2022

    A media agency that treats every channel as performance media — growth science and measurement for CPG, healthcare and clean-energy brands, with client work including Chobani, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon and Mastercard. Founder-led, with deep client-side experience and a preference for measurement over instinct.

  2. 05
    SSGA
    Web · 2021

    One of New York State's largest gastroenterology practices, operating since 1981 across multiple Capital Region locations. Endoscopy, colonoscopy and specialty GI procedures delivered through a roster of physicians — credibility carried by the work, not the wrapper.

  3. 06
    Solarflux
    Brand · Web · 2019

    Industrial-scale solar thermal — parabolic dish concentrators that deliver clean process heat for manufacturing, desalination and HVAC. Not photovoltaic, not residential; a system sized for the heaviest end of the load curve, sold to the engineers who size it.

  4. 07
    LeDerick Horne
    Brand · Web · 2018

    A spoken-word poet, keynote speaker and disability advocate whose work uses poetry as the gateway into wider conversations on equal opportunity, self-determination and pride. Reaches thousands of students, educators, policymakers and business leaders each year through workshops, talks and books.

  5. 08
    Simply
    Web · 2017

    A woman-owned massage and bodywork studio in Belmar, NJ — therapeutic massage, facials, body care and sound healing, founded and run by Kari Stewart. A booking-forward site for a practice where the work, not the marketing, brings the next client.

  6. 09
    UPT
    Web · 2016

    Urban Physical Therapy in Ithaca, NY — orthopedic rehab, return-to-sport training and post-operative recovery for active adults and athletes, built around a three-step Root · Restore · Reload approach. A site sized for booking and word-of-mouth referrals, not brochure traffic.
