I’m just a freelancer, really. I'm based in San Francisco, California. I'm a designer/developer, aka "full stack" aka "product designer" aka "whatever buzzword silicon valley decides I'm called this week."
I design and build websites and apps. That's it in a nutshell. You can hire me to help with anything that falls on that spectrum. In the past, I've worked with:
I use the brand name Chainlift for a couple of reasons. They’re mostly pragmatic. After all, the best way to demonstrate your ability to create a strong brand identity is to make one for yourself. Otherwise it’s like being a barber with the gnarliest haircut you’ve ever seen. Doesn’t inspire confidence.
But “Chainlift” also helps me maintain a good work-life balance, and it gives my work its own identity separate from my own. For me, the word evokes happy memories of playing Rollercoaster Tycoon, where I first fell in love with design, but it’s also a literal thing that takes people to the top. Besides, every good brand should have some tongue-in-cheek wordplay behind the name.
But most importantly, the branding is an efficient means of quickly conveying what my whole vibe is all about: serious engineering with playful energy.
