About

I build revenue systems for event and creator businesses. From launch to scale. Not just websites. Not just design. The entire system: - Website (Webflow) that converts - Registration & automation (Typeform, Zoom, Zapier) - Lead Magnets systems (Beehiiv, lead magnets, sequences) - Analytics dashboards (in progress: the "creator intelligence" layer) HERE'S WHAT I ACTUALLY DID: Worked with a private markets event startup from day zero. - Designed and launched the website (Webflow) - Connected registration system (Typeform + Zoom) - Built email infrastructure (newsletter + lead magnets) - Set up automations that save 10+ hours/week - Now building: Weekly creator intelligence dashboard Result: $600,000 first event revenue. Not because of the pretty design. Because everything actually worked together.
