Hey. I’m Moe.
I’m a freelance designer and builder, working remotely with small businesses and startups. I do brand and graphic design, websites, and AI implementation.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
A few honest things about how I work, the kind of stuff most websites bury but I’d rather just say upfront. If we’re aligned, let’s talk.
PROJECT BASED, MOSTLY
I work in defined projects with a clear scope. Some clients become ongoing — happy to work that way too — but I don’t do retainers without a real reason for them.
REMOTE ALWAYS
I work from wherever I am, occasionally on the road. I’ve never needed to be in an office to do good work, in fact I am more productive outside of an office environment.
AI FORWARD
I use it daily as a thought partner, builder, and accelerator which allows me to work faster and continue to build knowledge and skills within AI to help my clients become AI forward as well.
SHIP OVER PERFECTION
I’d rather get something working in front of you in a week than spend a month polishing the wrong thing. We can iterate from there.

If any of this sounds like the kind of person you want on a project, let’s talk. Free 30-minute discovery calls, no pitch, just figuring out if we’re a fit.
HOW I GOT HERE
I trained as an interior designer at UC DAAP, then left my first job out of school to traveled solo through Australia for a year. Not because the job was bad (actually it was amazing), but because I needed to know who I was outside of what I’d been training to become. That was the first time I really listened to my gut, and it set the pattern for everything since.
When I came back I worked at a coffee shop and yoga studio, which eventually led to becoming a massage therapist. Now I know how those businesses work, but more than that, the chapter taught me body awareness, the value of slow careful attention to what someone actually needs, and how to really listen.
COVID ended the massage business, but I was ready for what was next. I had my dog Journee, a self-built campervan, and was ready to tackle life on the road while freelancing.
After a year on the road I came back to Ohio and started working with a staffing agency. That role kept growing, and I noticed myself asking “how do we do this?” and “how do we do this better?” a lot. That mindset is now the thing I’m hired for.
These days I also help run an ecommerce company with my partner, and I’m leveling up my AI skills by building real products with it — currently an MVP for a fintech startup that came out of a conversation and turned into the most interesting work I’ve done.
The thread through all of it: I follow what interests me, I learn fast when I’m hooked, and I love solving the kind of problems other people are tired of looking at. Especially with AI, where there’s so much noise. Most businesses don’t need a new tech stack. They need someone to look closely at how their work actually flows and figure out where the smart, simple solutions are.
