SUMMARY

A career spent connecting the whole experience.

For more than two decades, I have led end-to-end digital projects across strategy, art direction, UX, web development, AI-enabled workflows, and performance optimization. Today, I am a Senior Web Developer at Bluebeam and founder of Atomic Studio.

I translate complex ideas into clean, modular websites, brand systems, and digital experiences that balance visual clarity, scalability, and measurable business impact—pairing enterprise rigor with the direct accountability of an independent studio.

Enterprise perspective

Long-term technical partnership, cross-functional collaboration, governance, and platforms built to serve teams at scale.

Independent care

Close client partnerships, pragmatic decisions, and the continuity that comes from staying involved after launch.

CONTINUITY

Trusted to build. Trusted to stay.

The best digital work is rarely a one-time transaction. By running an intentionally selective practice powered by AI efficiency, I bring enterprise-level rigor to a limited number of clients—ensuring dedicated focus, rapid execution, and stable, long-term support.

IN THEIR WORDS

  • I’ve worked with many design and creative studios and Atomic Studio is hands down the best. Brad and his team care that every project is handled with great execution and will not settle unless it is perfect. The team is competent, friendly, and so easy to work with. They will take an ordinary website and make it a functional, beautiful masterpiece.

  • Brad and the Atomic Studio team went beyond our expectations in bringing our project to life. Their professionalism was second to none, and they provided a helping hand throughout the entire process. They were always ahead of schedule, brought innovative expertise, and did a wonderful job with the UX and UI.

  • After reviewing several companies, Atomic Studio exceeded my expectations and was more than flexible with my budget and ideas. They produced a timeline with clear deadlines that they beat, worked with me to bring my vision to life, and offered thoughtful solutions I had not considered. It was a genuinely collaborative experience.

  • I worked with Brad and his team to design and develop a new website for my acupuncture studio, and I couldn’t be happier.
