Welcome in,

I'm Pen, and I specialize in helping distinctive enterprises carve new paths.

Whether you're a niche fabricator, creative collective, specialized retailer, or unconventional service provider, I understand that unique businesses need to find their own flow.

I provide both consultation and hands-on execution:

Digital & Creative Services: Web marketing, SEO, graphic design, and illustration tailored to your specific industry and audience.

Operational Support: Project management, logistics coordination, team leadership, and direct service delivery. I will consult on your systemic and technical needs, and personally handle the implementation.

Strategic Consulting: Systems analysis, process management, and goal development informed by extensive experience with eccentric enterprises.

From patent-holding manufacturers to occult bookstores, museums and charities to psychiatric practices, I've spent the past 25 years helping diverse enterprises achieve their goals by combining systems thinking with practical execution. I listen and I make it happen. Every engagement adapts to your unique pace and requirements, ensuring Great Works to overcome your obstacles. Let's get together and transform ideas into gold!

Who I am

My name is Travis Anderson, also known as Pen, and throughout my life I have found myself in diverse roles including summer camp counselor, Internet publisher, graphic designer, author, illustrator, software engineer, sound designer, audio/video installation artist, courier, merchant, miniaturist, and tabletop game facilitator. I live in Chicago with my wife, cats, and our (fully grown) children, where we all put our brains together (even the cats) as a family business.

I take research, communication, and literacy very seriously, especially while joking about it, and I’m here to put those passions to good use.
