Over the past eight years, I’ve helped grow Escapod from a garage project to a nationally recognized brand. As co-owner, I wore every hat: fabrication, ops, finance, QC, HR, brand, product, and web design. We scaled from 2 to 85 employees, raised $4M+, hit $10M in annual revenue, and were named the 9th fastest-growing manufacturing company in the U.S. by Inc. Our designs won international awards from iF and Red Dot. Following is a case study documenting this work.
