The beginning

How did we get here?

Cascadia Concepts began with a simple belief: small businesses deserve great technology, too. We decided we would provide the solution to the complex problems for small businesses and solopreneurs.

What we offer

Product management, UX, SaaS, automation, project delivery, and technology operations.

What we value

Ethics, sustainability, collaboration, and practicality. Always.

The team

Two perspectives.
One shared standard.

We combine product thinking, experience design, and hands-on operating experience with firsthand respect for the constraints smaller teams navigate.

Product & strategy

I grew up with both parents owning small businesses. I witnessed the dedication, multitasking, and resilience required to make them successful.

Later I worked with businesses of all sizes, in SaaS software for both B2B and B2C companies. I realized that while I loved being in Product Management, I needed a break. I wanted time to upskill, to think, to pursue new verticals.

While it was a crazy time to do so, I took the leap into entrepreneurship in 2024.

I started CC with a friend and began working on apps and consulting engagements that felt interesting, important, and well suited to our skills. Our mission is to help organizations succeed in a way that is a net positive to the global community.

Experience & design

I've spent my years deep in the Vancouver tech scene. My primary focus has been in design and UX at startups dedicated to data visualization. In 2023 my wife and I had our first child, which prompted a change in lifestyle.

I sold my first low-code app in January 2024 and saw how thoughtful product and design work could create new possibilities for smaller teams. I wanted to use that experience to help organizations build useful, humane, and sustainable technology.

We have no idea where 2025 and beyond will take us - but we will have enjoyed everything we learned along the way.
