Who's Behind This?

Hey, I'm Courtney.

I'm a former corporate UI developer who was working 50-hour weeks, drowning in meetings and office politics, and watching my life pass by while I waited for the "right time" to actually live it.

Then I took a trip to Jamaica for my birthday and had a realization: I didn't want to keep delaying my life for a job.

So I didn't.

Now I work remotely, travel on my own terms, and help other creatives and tech pros build careers that support their lives—not the other way around.

If you're tired of the 9-5 grind and ready for something different (but don't relate to the "sell everything and move to Bali" crowd), you're in the right place.
