PARTNERSHIPS · EDUCATION

Building the BattleBots Course

PARTNERSHIP · CONCEPT · EDTECH · SCALE

Partnered with BattleBots to build and launch a branded robotics camp from the ground up, combining the beloved competition with hands-on curriculum design to create one of the highest-performing branded products in industry history.

SHOPIFY · FUNDRAISING · DESIGN

Non-profit Fundraising

MERCH DESIGN · ECOMM · SHOPIFY

Designed a merch line for an in-person fundraiser, then extended it into a Shopify storefront so supporters could buy from anywhere. Pre-order and print-on-demand fulfillment kept inventory at zero, and an integrated donation flow let people give on top of what they bought.

EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIPS & EXPERIENCE

Ninja & Fortnite: an Epic Exclusive

PARTNERSHIP · IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Landed an exclusive with Epic Games and signed Ninja to one of his first brand contract. Built a learning experience inside the game using Unreal Engine, then brought it into the real world through gaming centers, summer camps, and premium venues with live competitions and meet-and-greets.

CONCEPT · PARTNERSHIPS · EDUCATION

Launch of NVIDIA AI Certification for Youth

PARTNERSHIP · CONCEPT · DELIVERY

Partnered with NVIDIA to build a youth-facing AI/ML curriculum...first of its kind, taking it from concept to a certification students could actually earn and use on college resumes. Delivered online and at university campuses worldwide, with the technical rigor intact and the age gap closed.

First-mover in applied AI education for hundreds of teens around the globe
APP DEV · OPERATIONS

Killing the Clipboard

CUSTOMER SERVICE · PRODUCT · SCALE

At hundreds of summer camps, family check-in ran on printed spreadsheets and took up to 15 minutes per child. Target was 5. Worked with field staff to build the app prototype as they were the ones living the problem, then spearheaded a cross-functional product team including engineering, operations, and compliance to turn it into a real product. We beat the 5 minute mark and kept going.

Deployed to 150+ storefronts across 7 countries a worldwide success
How we climb

A route to the summit, mapped before the first step.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined ascent:
Clarity first, momentum second, and a real deliverable at the top.

BASECAMP

Find the line

We analyze opportunities and goals, collect concepts, pressure-test ideas, consult the right audience, and define the work and scale. We don't just ask what could go wrong...we ask "what could go right!?"

THE ASCENT

Build in the open

Brand, product, commercialization, operations plans, or curriculum that's designed and prototyped in tight loops you can see & steer.

SUMMIT

Ship and scale

Deliverables that work and scale in the real world, not just a deck that describes them.

Got a peak in mind? Let's map the route.

Tell us where you're headed. We'll figure out the climb together and come back with a plan worth committing to.
