Ventures

Companies & Ventures

These are things I've founded, built, operated or helped shape over time — distinct from client work.

Introduction

Each one is a company, organization, product or system I'm building — not a client engagement. The specific work for clients lives in Projects.

Companies & Organizations
Company / Business · Founded

A studio for turning ideas into products.

48Labs
What it is

A creative-production company and physical studio in Peoria, Arizona, combining studio space, production, content and related creative services.

Why it exists

A single place where studio space, production and content come together — so an idea can move from concept to finished work without changing rooms.

My role

Founder; Creative & Product Direction

What I worked on

A studio model borrowed from film production — define the experience, assemble the crew, run the system.

How it runs

Small teams, short runs, clear creative direction. Each project is treated as a production: a treatment, a schedule, and a cut.
