Over a Decade of Doing the Work
The experience behind Redbot Creative Industries — and what it means for your project.
Experience Across the Full Stack of the Craft
Redbot Creative Industries exists because I've spent over fifteen years building digital products — and I've seen firsthand what separates a website that actually works from one that just looks like it does.
My background spans the full range of the craft: front-end engineering at the enterprise level, UX and interface design, branding, print, and everything in between. I've worked on large-scale applications used by thousands of people, built sites from scratch for businesses just getting started, and spent years learning how to make complex systems feel simple to the people using them.
One Person. Full Accountability.
When you work with RCI, you're not getting a developer who hands design off to someone else, or a designer who can't speak to how something actually gets built. You're getting both, from someone who's been doing this long enough to know where projects go wrong and how to keep them on track.
RCI is small by design. That means you work directly with me — not an account manager. Your project doesn't get handed off. And the person who shows up to the discovery call is the same person writing the code.
Every project starts with understanding how your business actually works, and ends with something built specifically for it.
Tim Whalen, Founder
I hold a BFA in Graphic Design and have been working professionally in digital and design since 2008. Over the years I've built and shipped projects across industries — enterprise software, nonprofits, professional services, e-commerce, and more.
In early 2025, I formalized Redbot Creative Industries as the full expression of that experience: a practice built around custom development, thoughtful design, and the kind of ongoing client relationship that actually moves a business forward.
If you're ready to own something built for you, I'd like to help build it.
