Builder in Durango. I make websites, storefronts and AI systems, then hand you the keys.
Kahlil Ballenger, co-founder of Creative Flow Studio with Wes, the other half of the coin. Every build ends with the client running it themselves. If Durango and San Francisco had a baby, that's the work.

Wes and me above town. Durango is the one in the background.
The story
Two halves of one coin
A professor at Fort Lewis looked at me and Wes and said we covered both sides of one coin. We started the studio on the domain that happened to be open, and built it on one rule: the client leaves with the keys.

What I do
Four things, done properly
Build
Storefronts, marketing sites and booking software, on stacks a client can keep after launch. Strategy and content when that is what the brand actually needs.
- Next.js
- React
- Tailwind CSS
- Vercel
- Shopify Liquid
- Supabase
Get found
The invisible program under every site: canonicals, schema, sitemaps, local search, and the ads that fill bookings.
- Technical SEO
- Structured data
- Google Business Profile
- Google Ads
- AEO / GEO
Automate
AI systems that do work rather than demos, including the six-agent setup that runs the studio's own operations.
- Claude API
- Claude Code
- Multi-agent systems
- Retrieval
Hand over
Every engagement ends with the client running their own site. The documentation is the deliverable behind the deliverable.
- Client education
- Handoff documentation
- Theme-editor training
