Web design, Shopify development, mobile apps, and brand identity for Tucson and Southern Arizona brands — University of Arizona optics + astronomy, Davis-Monthan defense-adjacent, bilingual EN/ES Sonoran DTC, and 4th Avenue creator brands. Mountain Time (no DST), on-site discovery in Downtown Tucson, 4th Avenue, and the Foothills.
Tucson runs four parallel commercial scenes. The University of Arizona's optical sciences and astronomy programs anchor a remarkable photonics + space-tech cluster (mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope are made at the Steward Mirror Lab right in town). Davis-Monthan AFB and the Raytheon Missile Systems campus drive a steady defense-adjacent SaaS + manufacturing stream. Tucson's proximity to the Mexican border (about an hour to Nogales) makes bilingual EN/ES + Sonoran cultural fluency baseline for serious consumer brands here. Plus a creator + DTC scene rooted in 4th Avenue and Downtown keeps consumer work flowing. Mountain Time coverage (Arizona doesn't observe DST, so we're effectively on Pacific Time half the year) with on-site discovery across Downtown Tucson, 4th Avenue, the Foothills, Sam Hughes, and Catalina Foothills.
