Background

My co-founder Dustin and I met while working together to build a suite of sales and client care products for CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services company. We both saw a need for a simple product to help teams without enterprise resources find, communicate with, and care for clients. The existing tools were too complicated, expensive, and time consuming. So we started Zapiary, a communication management platform that helps small businesses more efficiently communicate and collaborate with customers.

Key Contributions

As a Co-Founder, I was responsible for Strategy, Software Engineering, Mobile App Development, Branding, and UI/UX Design of our services.

Rapidly iterated over business opportunities and tested them against the market with high-def interactive design mock-ups.
