Creative systems designer · Builder · Founder

York, PA · Remote

Summary

Founder and builder with hands-on experience across operations, customer service, e-commerce, marketing, and brand building. I make brands, websites, and tools, and I run real operations — turning an unclear business, brand, or idea into something organized, attractive, and built to move, designed as one connected system. Founder of CE OS — a creative + production studio and systems builder (ce-os.com) — plus a portfolio of self-built product ventures. Operator, builder, and founder — one person, start to finish.
