Websites that do a job
Clear, credible sites built around the action a customer should take—not design theater.
VENTURES / 02
My business experience spans signs, woodworking, photography, and small-business technology. The common thread is seeing potential, shaping an offer people value, and doing the work to bring it to market.
THE OWNER’S PERSPECTIVE
Opportunity often starts with something ordinary: an unmet need, a frustrating process, or a craft people value.
I’ve built businesses in signs, woodworking, and photography, and I co-own 25Fifteen Solutions. Across those experiences, the work has been to connect an idea to a customer, make the value clear, and build a practical way to deliver. A good opportunity needs a marketable offer, a reason to buy, and a business that can work.
SMALL-BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY
Technology should make a small business more capable—not more dependent, confused, or buried in subscriptions.
25Fifteen Solutions is a Wisconsin company I co-own with Christopher. We help small businesses make smart, practical use of websites, AI, automation, communication tools, and the systems they already pay for.
Clear, credible sites built around the action a customer should take—not design theater.
Workflows that reduce repetitive work, surface better information, and leave humans in control.
Email, file sharing, point-of-sale, inventory, and tool choices made understandable.
Practical guidance so the solution still works after the consultant leaves the room.
Owner-led organizations that have outgrown improvising but do not need enterprise-sized cost or complexity.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The goal is not to manufacture a perfect moment. It is to notice the real one before it disappears.
Ryne Cooper Studios creates personal photography built around connection, character, and the details people will care about years from now.
Photographs that preserve how people belong together—not just where they stood.
Portraits with personality, built collaboratively around who the student actually is.
Drone, brand, and custom image work when the story needs a different angle.

CUSTOM-MADE
Homes, businesses, events, and gifts deserve something more personal than whatever was closest to the checkout line.
My sign business brings together design, woodworking, and fabrication to make pieces with a clear purpose.
The work starts with what the finished piece needs to communicate, who it is for, and where it will live. The design and materials follow that purpose.
BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION
HOME & FAMILY PIECES
EVENTS & RECOGNITION
ONE-OFF GIFTS
DIGITAL FABRICATION
A printer is interesting. A printer that makes the exact missing part is useful.
I create multicolor prints, prototypes, display pieces, adapters, organizers, replacement parts, and the oddly specific object nobody bothered to manufacture.
