Johnny brings two decades of experience across startups and enterprise SaaS, with an empathy-first approach to making complex intranets simple and intuitive.

Three organizations’ with three different intranets.

What did they have in common? 

Every design decision was deliberate. Hear the stories behind their paths to success, each taking a unique approach.

A state agency that did something unexpected at launch: The New York State Office of Cannabis Management built STASH from scratch, and made one early decision that changed everything about how staff showed up on day one.

A county department that revamped purpose: Harris County Department of Education chose to build something unique. The Portal is the result of a deliberate choice that most organizations never think to make.

One person, one vision. An intranet that punches above its weight: Winnipeg Airports Authority’s Flight Deck was built with less than you’d expect, and looks better than most intranets built with far more. Find out how.
