Picton, Prince Edward County, Ontario
I build products, run brands and talk to people for a living.
At GigCX Marketplace I set 100+ qualified appointments a month. On my own I built FADED, a barber booking app now on the App Store, Google Play and the web, and Book Xchange, which is heading to the App Store. Under OTR Collective I design menus, logos and websites for small businesses and run seven Instagram pages. I started in restaurants, moved into B2B sales, and use Claude and Gemini to move faster.

Screens show sample barbers on the map and a test account on the barber dashboard.
Like Uber, but for barbers.
Clients find and book a nearby barber from their phone, and barbers keep what they earn, with zero commission. I designed, built and launched it. It is on the App Store, Google Play and the web, and about ten barbers have signed up in Brampton and Belleville.

Built, heading to the App Store
Free neighbourhood book sharing. Borrow books from people nearby and lend the ones you have already loved, so shelved books get a second life. The App Store release is in progress.

I designed the website for Tanjore North Indian Cuisine in Belleville and I am finishing a redesigned take-out menu, with new Hindi and Hinglish section headers and original food photography. I also run the restaurant's Instagram.

A Founding Barbers recruitment campaign with social proof content, a viral concept built as a fake news article, and printed business cards, flyers and keychains. I built a branded backdrop and ran my first pop-up at a Toronto barber expo three days after finishing the app. I will be back at the 2027 Barber Expo with a bigger presence. Three of my flyers are shown here.
I created the logo and built the website for Jatt & Barbers, a premium cut and shave barbershop.
A motivational Instagram page I started in October 2026. I made the name, the gold flame mark and the quote images, and I write each caption with a short personal story.
@stillfire.quotes ↗A John Wick-style action short I produced for @shadowkut.films, built around a dark, cinematic look.
@shadowkut.films ↗Business sites and booking tools for local owners, built to work on a phone and to turn visitors into calls, bookings and orders.
What I bring
Content plans, quote graphics, reels and growth across seven niches.
Taking an app from idea to launch, plus mobile-first sites and booking tools for small businesses.
Logos, menus, print and visuals that match across every channel.
Photography on a Canon T5 DSLR with an added lens, plus video work such as the Shadowkut Films short.
Outbound calls, lead qualification and CRM work in Salesforce, HubSpot and Vonigo, plus SalesCamp B2B training.
I use Claude and Gemini to plan content, make graphics, write code and edit, so one person can run seven pages and two apps.
About
I like creating things and offering services that solve real problems.
FADED started as an idea more than ten years ago. In 2026 I built it from scratch, launched the company, and ran my first pop-up at a barber expo three days after I finished the app. I will be at the 2027 Barber Expo with a bigger presence.
Working in a restaurant taught me how to look after customers when it gets busy. Sales taught me how to start a conversation and close it. Building my own pages and apps taught me how to make things people want to look at.
That mix is the reason I can run a page, design the brand and talk to the customer.
Remote. Sets 100+ qualified appointments a month at a 75% lead-to-booking rate and keeps client records in Vonigo CRM.
Launched a zero-commission barber booking marketplace on the App Store, Google Play and the web. Built Book Xchange. Runs seven Instagram pages.
Led a team of 4, raised repeat customers 18% and lifted sales 20% with a new menu and upsell program.
SalesCamp (Palette Skills) with hands-on Salesforce and HubSpot, plus a Salesforce Trailhead certification.
Earlier roles in manufacturing, customer service and sales canvassing.
