Salt Space Design started out as a creative outlet that turned into a business for helping companies discover visual identities that communicate with their demographics. Over the years I have had the pleasure of designing logos, brands, and websites for many companies both locally and nationally. This has helped me fine tune my development skills and help my understanding of user centric design. Salt Space Design now contracts with several designers and developers to continue helping small businesses with their overall design and development needs.

Finding niche problems to solve isn’t always easy. The idea of Captura came from our two founders that spent the last 15 years in trade industries. After extensive research we found the issues they experienced were more broadly shared among small trade businesses and so we decided to solve the problems with software.Captura took two years of bootstrapped development to launch the first version of the platform. While designing and creating this platform I had the opportunity of exploring a myriad of industries and developing a deep understanding of a wide variety of users' needs. Working with a very small team (and budget) we were able to effectively release product feature sets that were fundamental in giving our users the tools to grow their small businesses.
