My name is Mike Leinen. I have been in the "computer" world since I was about 6 years old, a very long time ago. My first memories date back to the days of Netscape. Boy has time changed. As the computer age burst, I hung on for the ride not knowing where it would take me next.
I started creating small websites in my early teens. Initially to one up friends on new technology but mostly just to learn. From there I grew a passion for design, such as logos, print material, advertising proofs and most of all websites. I found a love creating something from nothing. A blank canvas that would become the digital storefront for some business somewhere.
After working almost 10 years designing logos and websites for small businesses, over 200 clients, mainly in the automotive aftermarket sector, I decided to venture out on my own. Since that day I have been creating stunning websites for clients of all types and sizes. From brick and mortar shops to large growing construction companies. I have designed them all.
I continually look for the latest project, the latest innovation, mostly the latest look on a client's face when they know their digital future is in good hands.
