v183 in 10 Days - a web app fully built on react native.
Database, oAuth, newsletter, 3rd party APIs. Things that used to take weeks or even months and tons of planning, are being done with a prompt and verification. Just a human in the loop - no complex teams, no excuses, no missed deadlines - just results.

Better invest in design, cause ideas are more achievable than ever.

"If you want different results, you need to do different things."

I've always embraced the latest upgrades to technology, while staying true to industry standards and workhorses. In 2026, Black Bambu is undergoing a massive upgrade in infrastructure and I'm looking forward to sharing it with all of you.

My Best,
Shawn

Not every brand is meant for everyone.

We don’t serve kids.
We don’t serve babies.
We don’t serve politics.
And we don’t chase gimmicks or clients that dilute the work.

That clarity protects the brand.

Ask yourself:
Who are you not trying to serve?

Because the moment you try to reach everyone,
you lose the people who actually matter.

This is exactly why each client is vetted before we begin any project. From bad imitators, to energy vampires, to disappearing contacts… yeah you know who you are - time wasters, window shoppers, ask-holes - were quick to pass on bad clients with red flags.

Clarity comes before action.

Some brands send emails.
Some give small gifts.
Some show up quietly, over time.

A beach calendar.
A simple reminder.
A reason to be remembered.

Branding isn’t always loud.
It’s consistent presence.

Ask yourself:
How does your brand stay connected?

For a local real estate client, we produce a FL beach calendar each year. It showcases beautiful sunsets, vacation homes, boating and just about anything that makes someone wish they weren’t shoveling snow. It’s a thoughtful gift, keeps her top of mind and connects without selling.

Sometime in the year 2003, I was hired to build a website - it was my first paid client. I was still in Highscool, did not have a legit business or brand or sales process. We met for dinner and talked about the business, ultimately closing on a handshake deal for $10,000.

Fast forward - he was a client for many more years, building a couple more websites, creating a brand and producing marketing merchandize along the way.

Eventually we did part way in 2018, when he sold the business.

I think about this project all the time. Why? Because in 15 years, I've added a ton of skill, talent, experience, and knowledge; while adding a very strong process around it all. That same client would pay close to $100,000 today for that work, however there is a clear disconnect between cookie cutter websites and someone who actually takes the time to build a quality product.

The market has become oversaturated with "do it yourself" websites, cheap templates, and now AI builders. People love to save money and take shortcuts! The reality is most of these projects simply belong in the trashcan. They don't work, they suck away your time and resources, or they hide behind some vague subscription model.

Is this you? Working on a Squarespace website, building on web flow, troubleshooting GoDaddy errors. I feel your pain, trust an expert, invest in your business and stop trying to do it yourself.

Championship teams aren’t remembered for one good season. They’re remembered for what they built over decades.

Banners. (18x for Celtics)
Standards. (Un-compromised)
A culture that outlives the players.

Ask yourself:
What legacy do you want your brand to leave behind?

Because winning once isn’t legacy.
Sustaining it is.

If your a Boston Sports fan like me, you’ll instantly recognize their branding. Toughness, “do your job”, “cowboy up”, play til the last second, unforgettable moments, and sacrificing for the team! These are legacy accomplishments, built upon many seasons/coaches/players. Uniting them all under one brand.

“Better” isn’t a strategy.
“Cheaper” isn’t either.

Ask yourself:
What makes your brand impossible to imitate?

If it can be copied,
it’s not positioning — it’s decoration.

Think deep! Maybe it’s actually you, or your unique process, or your team / experience. It’s the difference maker when standing next to others on your same industry.

Most brands talk about what they do.
Strong brands understand why it matters.

Ask yourself:
What problem do you solve — and what deeper problem do you really solve?

The surface problem gets attention.
The deeper one earns trust.

For example, you own a wine bar - offering a wide variety and exclusive tasting experience. This gets people in the door, but loyalty is earned through the captivating experience / excellent service. A sommelier completes this exercise, offering advice and guidance - ultimately solving the deeper question: why is this wine good, how do I tell? Immediately you go from a basic bartender interaction to a fine dining experience.

If you want clarity before ex*****on:
