The company scaled from two founders to approximately 30 full-time employees while supporting projects across four states without building a large administrative support structure.
An established nonprofit organization relied heavily on its annual conference as a critical revenue source and community engagement event. When the 2020 shutdown disrupted in-person gatherings, the work focused on rebuilding the conference as a fully virtual experience while preserving presenter participation, attendee engagement, sponsor visibility, and operational coordination. The resulting platform and workflows became valuable enough that portions of the digital experience continued supporting future live conferences after in-person events returned.
A Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company was managing a global employee participation and research program through manual approvals, scheduling coordination, spreadsheets, and email workflows.

The resulting workflow system improved scalability, reduced operational friction, and created a more structured participant experience across the organization.
A fast-growing virtual concierge startup needed a more scalable way to support boutique hotel guests without increasing operational strain on support teams.
