About Us
Our Mindset
Empathy, Accountability, Responsibility, Support
Regardless, if we are creating a delightful website experience or seeking ways to improve your day-to-day life, stress management, relationships, communication skills, and perspective. We never stop creating as we are all simply creators whom did not create ourselves. John C. Maxwell says, “An unintentional life accepts everything and does nothing. An intentional life embraces only the things that will add to the mission of significance.”
Intentionally having an E.A.R.S mindset helps individuals (and groups) quickly assess to manage stress, perspectives, expectations, challenges, and desired outcomes.
Empathy
Often we are quick to assume. Old sayings like, “Walk a mile in my shoes” and “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been” are rooted in empathy. Intentional empathy allows us to discover a space for grace and patience. In that space we gain context and perspective which are key when clarifying true expectations.
Accountability
Now that expectations has been set. It’s time to define who should be accountable for what, when, where, why, and how. Aim to lead by example.
Responsibility
With expectations being set and met. Let’s continue to be responsible by doubling back and covering tracks.
Support
With pitfalls, gotcha, and gaps filled. We exercise empathy by providing support to others along the journey. We get what we give.
“If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going.”

I had the pleasure of working with Cleo as his direct report at InfoTycoon. Cleo is a uniquely talented and highly-adaptable full-stack designer, motivator of teams, and mentor. Cleo's work ethic, positive attitude, and servant leadership are among the strongest that I've experienced in my 20 years as a working professional. Simply put - he is able to run with concepts, ideate and design quickly and thoughtfully, ensure seamless hand-offs between teams, and make sure we all have fun in the process. As my boss, he was constantly looking for ways to selflessly support my growth and move me forward in my journey from UX to product management. I recommend him with full confidence.
