đź“‚ 2024 recap + what's coming in 2025


​

Happy New Year!

I wanted to give you an update that recaps the last year, tells you what you can expect from me this year, and reminds you of some sweet resources I have for you.

Also, I realized I rarely share pictures of myself... so enjoy!

2024

This past year was packed with huge milestones and a rollercoaster of emotions. Both my cofounders of Conversion Factory had babies in July! We also made our first hires. The SaaS I built after learning to code got its first customer. I traveled to 11 different conferences all around the world, including NYC, Ottawa, Cabo San Lucas, London, Dubrovnik, and Dublin.

Conversion Factory Client Highlights

  • Sensible: Helped double ARR from $500K to $1M by revamping their product marketing and providing designs for creative projects (one of which hit the top of Hacker News!).
  • LACRM: 20% increase in conversions on their homepage through A/B testing.
  • Senja: 17% conversion lift with ICP-focused landing page redesigns and dev.
  • KinectAir: Boosted signups by 20x through a complete website overhaul with strategic CRO and signup CTA placement.
  • DevStats: Landed their first three enterprise clients with rebranding, website copy, and Webflow development.
  • SiteGPT: Tripled booked demos with a site rewrite and redesign focused on conversions.
  • Reeve: Rewrote, redesigned, and built their new site in just 16 days!

On a more personal note, I wrote some blog posts about how to get into marketing, how I increased my testosterone by 45% naturally, recovering from divorce, and more.

I'm really proud of what I accomplished in 2024, and 2025 promises even more.

Thank you for being part of the journey — let’s make this next year the best yet!

Launch. Repeat. And lately, like everyone else, I've been using AI to help. ChatGPT for drafts. Claude for strategy. Feeding it context about the product, the audience, the goals. But here's what kept bugging me: Every time I got a good output, I'd close the chat... and then spend the next two...
