I am a Creator

Portrait

I'm Sean, I make startups sing.


I've built two profitable companies from just ideas, raised 6 figures in Angel investment, and worked for and with Fortune 10 companies, professional athletes, and believe my job on this planet is to organize and simplify.

I'm not all work and no play, as I enjoy making a fool of myself dancing to Bieber for 30th birthdays, moonwalking like Michael, or jumping an invisible rope.

Everything you see below, along with many other projects, were executed from an idea to finished product in the last year (October 2010 - 2011), while also writing for Evolyte's and other's social media accounts (Blog, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube).

Technical Expertise

  • Design: Dot Grid Book, Photoshop
  • Development: HTML, CSS, JS, JSON
  • Dancing: Bieber, Bernie, Michael
  • Marketing: Behavioral, Social, SEO, PPC
  • Analytics: Excel, MATLAB, Google

iPhone Apps

The best apps are the ones you only need to open once, what I call Invisible Software.


Web Apps

As much as I love the iPhone, the web was, is, and always will be the future. Now if we can only make apps for the web easier to build.


Animation

I'm fortunate enough to work with two of the world's best storytellers, an animator (now at Disney) and an illustrator (now at Pixar). They're able to tell a story without words and make ideas stick. Pretty powerful if you ask me.


Print Design

I've had the special opportunity to work for some of the world's greatest professional athletes. Below is just a tiny sample of some of that work.


HTML Email Campaigns

Email is the first and broadest social network. It's sad more companies don't take cues from Apple's elegant email designs.


Miscellaneous

Some spec work I put together to boil down complex topics into simple statements and pictures.


Web Design & Development

There's a reason that so many "normal" people love Comic Sans, because it's playful. Similarly, people are delighted and remember those websites where things changed based on where and how their mouse interacts with the webpage, so why do most web developers try to downplay it in their work. I believe that the web should be more playful, not less.

Technical Topics

People actually get paid to speak? Sort of feels like I'm on reality TV. But, depending upon the audience and content, there can be a host of pre-work that's required, including analyzing industries, brainstorming ideas, and proposing potential solutions to posed problems.

I typically talk about topics from the technically complex (mathematical analysis of pricing theories and their impact on customer demand) to the wildly comedic (How many unicorns does it take outshine Charlie Sheen? Hint: a lot.). Below are some of my recent speaking engagements:

  • TechWeek, Chicago: Viral Marketing
  • Energy Summit, Boston: Behavioral Marketing
  • Search Engine Strategies, Chicago: Mobile
