Always for fun, sometimes for money.</p><p>I'm George, a designer, tech entrepreneur, and outdoor enthusiast!  I have an equal love for tinkering with AI as I do hiking with my dogs.</p><p>Here's a little backstory on who I am and what makes me tick...</p><p>Originally from the Philly area, I studied architecture at Syracuse and thinking I was going to be a black turtleneck wearing new york architect, moved to Brooklyn to work for one of the big name firms.</p><p>After a few years, I realized this wasn't for me. It dawned on me that the part of my job I liked the most I was doing the least of: graphic design &amp; technology. I found I was much better at pitching building designs, marketing the company's brand, and tinkering with technology to improve our efficiencies and workflows.</p><p>So I pivoted my career to \"graphic design\" which lead me to an AI company where I learned about startups, remote-work, SaaS marketing, and building a business that serves the tech community. </p><p>Years later, I now run my own remote-only consultancy that aims to work with startups and venture-backed companies to build/improve their brands and websites.</p><p>I spend my workdays balanced between client work, marketing my own business, and tinkering on projects I find interesting... like VetResumes.com, Archive51.art, Stacked.camp, to name a few. More recently I've been trying to slash my AI company subscriptions by building my own system on the back of a bunch of used mac minis.</p><p>Outside of work, I'm a big nature lover. I've hiked, camped, kayaked, trailered, overlanded, and backpacked all over this country (and a splash of Canada). My wife and I recently moved our family to Oregon to purse a long-time dream of running a PNW flower farm (which i will, of course, find a reason to apply technology).</p><p><br></p>","html":"<iframe src=\"https://art19.com/shows/abstract-essay/episodes/15ae5518-e562-4ccc-89c3-e7218efb2297/embed\" style=\"width: 720px; height: 200px; border: 0 none;\" width=\"720\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>","provider_name":"ART19","provider_url":"https://art19.com","title":"Abstract Essay, now in its sixth season, features George Little as my guest  a creative mind who designs, builds, and tinkers with ideas, projects, and innovations driven by curiosity, passion, and experimentation, sharing thought-provoking insights on creativity, invention, problem-solving, craftsmanship, and the fascinating intersection between passion projects, technology, and purposeful work.","type":"rich","version":"1.0","width":720,"height":200}
