Q What do you do?
“I help you find your voice on the internet. It took many years of experimenting, but eventually I found mine and it resulted in racking up over a hundred million views. Whether it’s using Squarespace to build a website that fits your unique vibe or creating branded content to find your audience, let’s rock.”
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
I’ve spent my whole life creating videos/scripts/performances/websites and learning how people respond to them. I bring these experiences of how to impact an audience when creating websites and branded content for my clients.
Q How do you stand out in your field?
My work has always been about looking at things from different, off-kilter angles. I hope the way I look at things can inspire people to see themselves in different lights.
Q What are you working on right now?
I launched a Creative Tackle Shop called Wunmor. We specialize in building websites, branded content, and anything related to finding your voice on the internet.
Q What’s your style?
I like being offbeat, and pushing boundaries creatively. In general, there’s real power in being subtle and leaning towards simplicity, but I work with my clients and listen to their needs.
I designed the website for my company, Wunmor. I dig how simple and slick it is, and had a lot of fun coming up with the name and logo. I always love “one more”. One more try. One more round. One more moment, etc. There are more examples of work on the website.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
I want to connect with people and small businesses who want to hone in on their own voice on the internet.
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
I would hire someone who can pat me on the back and say, “Hey, nice job. You rule,” a few times a day.
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
I would have recommended my younger self to launch Wunmor earlier. Working as a creative sends you in many directions, and I think having a business entity sooner would have helped everything grow faster.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
Blues music from the 1920s. Peetie Wheatstraw and Charley Jordan are some of my favorite artists right now.
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
Website Design, Poster/Flyer Design, and Branded Content Production.
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
I’ve developed websites for artists, lawyers, coaches, and more, so I’d love to keep working with small business owners. In addition to building their websites, it’d be fun to continue the relationship by helping them with branded content. I know a lot is on every entrepreneur's plate, and if I can help them in any way - that’s what I’m here for.
Q: What is your rate?
For the most basic starter website, my rate ends up being around $2000 and can vary from there depending on how many pages and the complexity of the site. Beyond that, I normally work under an hourly rate for branded content and design work. And lastly, for ongoing clients, I have monthly retainer options. I’m always happy to talk more about rates to fit your budget 🤘
