Hi, I'm Marcus

I help capable people who feel stuck find their next move.

You're smart, you're talented, and you can't see the pattern that is blocking you. Maybe it's your message, your tech, your strategy - or you're too close to see things clearly.

That's where I come in. I see patterns fast, I build whatever needs to exist, and I move quickly. Code, communication, strategy, design - whatever the problem needs.
