A studio of one,
by design.

My path into building product didn't start in tech. I came up through multimedia — producing national news for PBS and the Christian Science Monitor, interviewing C-suite executives and athletes, cutting commercials for Sotheby's. After that I spent three years as a Therapeutic Mentor with the Justice Resource Institute, working alongside high-risk youth on resilience and growth. Both stretches taught me the same thing: the best systems are the ones designed around the actual humans who'll use them.

For the last two years I've been at Babson College — my undergrad alma mater, where I now advise students on careers. The real work has been designing and shipping an AI-enhanced platform from scratch: structured job search, application prep, recruiting pipeline alignment. I own the design, the code, and the strategy. It's the same instinct that runs through everything I do — someone needs a system that works, and I'd rather build it than wait for one to arrive.

EVDB.work is where I take everything that background gave me — the production polish, the relationship work, the unreasonable bar for craft — and apply it to the products and brands of founders who feel the same way. The projects on this site are real, mostly live, and built by hand. If you're stuck between a sketch and something you can ship, that's the gap I'm best at closing.
