building meaningful brand
experiences, since 2015.

hello, friends:

i’m jeff vondenkamp and i care deeply about meaningful design that drives positive social impact and connects companies within their communities. over the past decade, i’ve co-founded brands sauna water, portage brewing, pine hour airbnb, and pare down; supported lyft’s early brand and operational growth, and continue to consult for companies seeking to build better brand experiences.

as an entrepreneur, my strongest ability is removing roadblocks that keep teams from their authentic potential. i look for solutions to grow sustainably, develop strategic plans, and execute on technical needs along the way.

there’s no question that humans need material goods to survive, but how we make spending decisions does impact the framework and overall health of our communities and environment. i’m here to support the continued growth of entrepreneurs who are searching for ways to do business better, and look forward to crossing paths with anyone who shares similar values. cheers.

coffee? it’s on me.
