Technical work, with an owner's perspective
I've spent more than a decade in hands-on technical work, including three years at a Kansas City marketing agency. There, I worked on SEO and web development for hundreds of businesses: building sites, organizing content, configuring analytics and CRMs, and connecting systems.
My wife and I have also run an online shop since 2021. Alongside the website, I've worked on sourcing, fulfillment, bookkeeping, and the everyday decisions that come with owning a business.
My work often connects the whole path: how someone finds a business, understands its services, makes an inquiry, and receives a response. I use that context to decide where a website, content, or system change will be most useful, then carry it through implementation and review.
I started With Regard to bring that experience directly to owners and small teams. I enjoy work where understanding the business and building what it needs belong together. You work with me from the first conversation through delivery.
Explore selected workWhat working together looks like
We agree the scope, cost, responsibilities, and review points before work begins. I explain the options and dependencies so you can make decisions about the project.
Your commissioned code, documentation, and core accounts are handed over under the project terms. Third-party platforms and licenses retain their own costs and conditions. Ongoing support is month-to-month.
I can work alongside your current team or provider. If the project needs a specialist outside my scope, we establish that before committing to the work.
