Ittybam

Co-Founder, Head of Design
2012 – 2013

Ittybam was my first foray into building a company from the ground up. Together with some prior colleagues, we built a successful web design and development agency targeting small and medium-sized businesses. At the time of inception, we had a competitive advantage with being based in Las Vegas, as there were no other custom design and development businesses in the area.
