Member Spotlight of the Month


build/create studios
Ian Wilson and Eric Lynch, long-time friends and colleagues, honed their skills in the crucible of Ann Arbor's tech startup community. Combining their design, web development and business management experience, they formed build/create studios in the 4th quarter of 2010. The quality and character of their work has earned them an enthusiastic reception from clients and colleagues alike. The business has grown at a steady but manageable pace over the course of 2011 - culminating in the opening of their offices in Ann Arbor's Tech Brewery on the North side of town and a growing roster of team members.

build/create studios specializes in partnering with businesses to leverage their design and web strategy skills to turn their client's web presence into something that works for them, generating business instead of just being an overhead expense. Approaching design and development as an exercise in comprehensive web strategy means taking more time to learn about their clientele, asking questions and gaining insight, but the result is a uniquely integrated product that leaves clients eager to tell others about their experience.
