I appreciate and challenge the limits of design. I am constantly eager to learn and have conversations giving me an opportunity to grow and experience design in new ways. When I'm not creating a concept or design, I enjoy kayaking, biking, or painting.

Chad Warren: Project Manager & Lead Developer

I have always enjoyed a good puzzle. As a project manager, I also take great enjoyment in learning about the unique needs of the project, and putting together the correct pieces to solve the puzzle. As a developer, I have been breathing new life into websites for over 15 years, but you will not always find me behind the keyboard; I enjoy home remodeling projects and professional pinball too.

Bailey Rotellini: Infrastructure Manager

I have always enjoyed the challenges that come along with programming and designing websites. I love being able to go to work everyday and do the thing I enjoy most, while expanding my knowledge. Some other things I love are playing video games and watching movies, and The Office!

Sarah Coss: Operations Coordinator

I am fascinated by the dynamic world of technology and have a passion for creatively helping others navigate that world. I love photography, musical theater, and have an extensive puzzle collection, but my first love will always be coffee.

Kevin Gerber: Director of Digital Marketing

The great American writer and humorist Mark Twain wrote, “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”. Advertising is one of my labors of love. Let us help you find your lightning.

I value working with talented creatives and developers to meet clients where they are and innovate toward new business solutions. As a native Pittsburgher who has spent time on both coasts, I have come to appreciate our distinctive regional character and world-class cultural institutions.

Abel Garrido: Developer

Coding is an array of challenges that requires one to use a tool box of problem solving and creativity. I've always enjoyed the process of working with others to achieve their goals, and finding the best solutions. When I'm not tackling a block of code I find solace in hiking the outdoors, reading, or watching a good comedy to relax my mind.

James Burton: Developer

I take pride in working with others & combining our talents to achieve the best possible solutions. Working with and exploring the capabilities of our current technology has always fascinated me. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my dog or playing ice hockey.

Christopher Banks: Developer

I enjoy the challenges of creating well designed, fully responsive web applications and websites. With a background in music education and jazz performance, I have found creating websites and applications to be very similar. Both realms require you to use the logical and the creative parts of the mind. Away from screens, I enjoy playing my trumpet, lifting weights and training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Ben Finley: Developer

I started my education in geology, but grew to love the problem solving involved with coding. I enjoy integrating disparate systems to create cohesive and responsive web design. Outside of work, you'll find me out hiking, bouldering at the climbing gym, or watching the Pens game.

Katelynn Powell: Project Manager

I revel in the “ah look at what we made" moment that comes after finishing an impactful project. In my free time, I indulge my artistic side through painting, drawing, and belting out show tunes.

Josh Garlitz: Lead Developer

As a lifelong creative with a passion for technology, I have always been fascinated by web development. I strive to bring that passion and creativity into each project, doing whatever it takes to make both clients and team members happy. In my spare time, I like to play guitar in bands, develop indie games, and occasionally relax.

Ross Maholic: Project Manager

I look forward to the delivery of complete projects - there is just something special about handing off a complete product that you saw through from start to finish! Other things I look forward to spending time with my wife, and we have made it a habit over the years to try and see one new movie a week. I also enjoy my usual Friday night draft of Magic the Gathering with my close friends.

Jon Hawranko: Developer

With a lifelong interest in development and problem-solving, I enjoy tackling challenges head-on whether it's debugging, optimizing, or finding creative solutions. I am passionate about delivering user-friendly digital experiences. In my free-time I enjoy watching Pittsburgh sports, chasing my dog around, or playing a retro video game.

Brian Super: Project Manager & Designer

As a designer and project manager, nothing brings me greater satisfaction than witnessing a meticulously crafted vision unfold - a fusion of strategic brilliance and captivating design that surpasses client expectations. I thrive on the challenge of tackling complex problems through innovative design solutions and constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity. Beyond work, I enjoy making art and spending time outdoors with my wife, son, and two dogs.
