My name is Jeremy Pennycook. I'm a passionate individual, a creative technologist, and an enthusiastic producer - a hybrid to the core. At the confluence of digital disciplines, I help build things on the web. With me, you get things done online. My projects work, they look great, and most important, have a purpose.
