30elm is the leading resource for finding interior designers and architects. I was founder of this innovative web startup.

This was the first time I was lucky enough to work with my now friends, Sven Kils, a designer at Vier Für Texas in Frankfurt, Germany, and Robby Russell a web programmer at Planet Argon in Portland.

Together we created, built and launched a website unlike any that had existed. It was a repository of thousands of portfolios of the top architects and interior designers in the country. Homeowners (and anyone else) could browse the designs and save them in their inspiration folder. From here 30elm would recommend the best professionals for their job and make introductions.

A pretty neat system, really. As 2008 started to show signs of the housing & remodeling crisis my partner and I ran low on time, and money. I hope to revisit 30elm and help it achieve all it can be sometime soon.
