From IT Support to Digital Architect: Building Beyond Code

My journey began in IT support and marketing, where I discovered my passion for problem-solving and seeing the bigger picture. I realized that the best solutions aren't just technically sound—they're strategically aligned with business goals and designed to drive real, measurable results.

As a Digital Architect, I bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. My approach goes beyond writing code—I architect systems that connect directly to ROI, performance metrics, and growth. Every solution I build is designed with conversion, scalability, and long-term success in mind.

Before we worked together

Before: Great Product, Almost No Digital Leverage

VITO had an incredible solution, but their online presence kept them hidden: an outdated site, unclear messaging, and no real path from attention to sales.

  • Website didn't match the quality of the product
  • No clear journey from interest → demo → purchase
  • Scattered brand assets and inconsistent story

I design systems that keep compounding value long after launch, so growth doesn't depend on constant campaigns—or my ongoing involvement.

Challenge: Building Trust & Scale

When VITO Fryfilter, a successful German company, embarked on its US market entry, they were virtually invisible. Their digital presence was non-existent.

They had zero credibility—going from literally 0 to 70+ video testimonials. They faced significant challenges: a terrible website, outdated branding that failed to resonate with American consumers, and just 6 Google reviews, 3 of which were internal. For their entire existence, they were effectively unknown in the competitive US market.

I partnered directly with their executives to architect a new foundation for their US operation. This wasn't just a redesign; I designed and built the compounding systems they needed to build their market presence—systems that continue to generate value long after implementation:

  • Digital Architecture: A new, high-performance web platform engineered for the US audience.
  • Brand & Strategy: A complete visual and messaging overhaul to establish authority and trust.
  • The Credibility Engine: A proprietary, automated system I built to consistently capture authentic video testimonials from real customers, directly addressing their critical lack of social proof. This system generated 70+ video testimonials, transforming them from zero credibility to market leaders.

Proof: A Credibility Engine with 70+ Video Testimonials

These are just a few of the customer stories recorded after the new systems rolled out.

"Complete digital transformation that eliminated customer confusion and drove unprecedented growth."
