01 — Who you work with

One person builds it. The same person answers.

One person builds it. The same person answers.

After five years split between creative and technical jobs, I wanted to build something from the ground up that I could be proud of — combining my design knowledge with my skills in creating efficient systems, for people who’d really benefit from someone technical who understands their business problems.

I promise only what I can deliver. I’m looking for long-lasting partnerships with honest, hard-working business owners who want to take their business to the next level.

Why “Inari”

A gate with your name on it.

A gate with your name on it.

In Kyoto, businesses donate vermilion gates to Inari, the spirit of prosperity — thousands of them, each inscribed with the name of the business that gave it. That’s the idea behind the name. Everything I build is a front door for your business, with your name on it, there to bring the work through.
