Starter Agency Initiative ยท Unfunded

Co-Founder & Lead Frontend / UI Engineer

Remote2024 (~1 Year (Disbanded))
AGENCY INITIATIVE & VENTURE NARRATIVE

Formed as a collaborative starter agency to secure client projects. Due to uneven partner commitment, single-handedly engineered the full agency portfolio and brand experience from ground up. After 1 year with zero gigs landed, the domain expired and the initiative was dissolved.

Formed a starter agency collective with peers with the ambition of securing digital development gigs. While team commitment waned, single-handedly engineered the complete agency brand identity, UI system, and interactive portfolio from scratch before the domain expired.

Core Technical Deliverables & Scope:

  • Single-handedly designed, architected, and developed the entire agency portfolio website from scratch with modern responsive UI and slick interactive animations.
  • Formed the collective venture to pitch client contracts, architect technical scopes, and structure client onboarding workflows.
  • Configured production hosting, domain DNS records, and deployment pipelines.
  • Disbanded after domain expiry when collaborators lacked execution follow-through, leaving zero closed gigs but serving as an invaluable lesson in team dynamics and autonomous full-stack product building.
