Our Team.

Steven’s vision for HustleFish was spawned during his time in the startup world in Los Angeles. Under his guidance, a lean, mean team of creatives and developers launched several projects including a cookbook app and grocery delivery service (just before it became cool), and a vinyl record subscription service; the team even prototyped and produced a bluetooth enabled turntable that integrated with a users Spotify to integrate their analog experience in a digital world. When the team wasn’t working on their own projects, they were operating as a development agency for household names like Vimeo, Roku, and Butterball Turkey. Steven’s impressive background in development gives him the expertise to lead our team of developers on a variety of projects from websites (WordPress, Craft, Shopify, etc.) to applications (iOS, Android, React Native, etc.)

Matt comes to HustleFish with a rich history of managing large, custom development projects. His project management expertise was honed first at a large marketing agency where he led a variety of projects including web-based applications, marketing automation, front end development and more. From there, he dove deeper into managing even more technically complex projects, leading software development for medium to large scale Python, Django, React, Plone, and AWS projects. Matt’s ability to drive project clarity from beginning to end is invaluable to the HustleFish team and clients. He has a laser focus on the clients’ goals for a project, and has the technical know-how to ensure the HustleFish developers accomplish those goals. Matt’s path has brought him to a place where he can help solve complex problems in unique and creative ways to develop intricate web based applications that delight customers and inspire coworkers.

Jess’ imagination takes HustleFish projects to new heights. Her creativity (fueled by good coffee, delicious pastries, and her cats) brings the brands we work with to life. Her passion for good design is only matched by her desire for clarity – it’s not enough for something just to look great, it has to function to accomplish the goals, and clearly communicate critical information. Jess’ design experience encompasses UX design for web apps, logo/branding design, print design (including large format like billboards and environmental signage), and our bread and butter: highly-customized websites. Her eye for detail and ability to use small details to enhance her design work is critical to our team.
