JounBlake's profile
About
This is Joun Blake, and I represent Design 1O1. It was established to cater to the comprehensive brand and website needs of small businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs, and individuals looking for turnkey solutions for their online presence.
Our founding members had very similar reasons for leaving behind working in traditional agency jobs. We had various frustrations that were very similar, like companies charging thoughts of dollars without purpose-driven work, usually piecemeal services with tons of upsells. And these included working for clients we didn’t feel were ethical and not having a say in decisions at the agencies where we worked. Multiple levels of management often resulted in a lack of involvement in the creative process, and we frequently worked long hours that mostly benefitted shareholders. The obvious solution for us was to go freelance; however, we missed certain elements of working in an agency, like collaborating with other specialists.
We couldn’t provide clients with the same skills and services. Buying software, equipment, and insurance multiple times over was inefficient and increased costs. Forming Design 1O1 meant we could retain a voice in what we worked on while working with others and gaining shared cost efficiencies.
