“You know ubuntu when it is there, and it is obvious when it is absent. It has to do with what it means to be truly human, it refers to gentleness, to compassion, to hospitality, to openness  to others, to vulnerability, to being available for others and to know that you are bound up with them in this bundle of life, for a person is only a person through other persons.” – Desmond Tutu

I love working on projects and new ventures.

There is something special about working as part of a team on a new venture or dream launch that brings that vision to life.

I prefer working with clients who truly care about how integral their websites are to their businesses, and understand and appreciate the value added to those projects through the services I provide.

Projects via

37 Degree Media is a fair chance web development project created on the idea that everyone, regardless of their background, should be considered for a role they are qualified for, including those formerly incarcerated.

The focus is on criminal justice reform-based organizations that work to end mass incarceration. If you are part of the Justice-involved community of program directors, people with lived experience, advocates, researchers, and experts in reentry, incarceration, and juvenile justice; consider using return citizens for your next web project.

La Defensa

*La Defensa has a new 2022 design

We met Jon through The Last Mile at San Quentin, and we were really excited to see him develop his vision of a company that prioritized the employment of designers and developers post incarceration. We worked with Jon and his team to create a complicated National Science Foundation-funded STEM Opportunities in Prison Settings (STEM-OPS) project website. Jon was responsive and receptive to our ideas and revisions, and the 37DM team also gave alternative ideas that could work better to accommodate our goals.
