Hi, I'm Robert C. Bowman III
Since 2006 I have been working with companies large and small to create top notch products. I enhance world class brands by listening and producing intuitive user experiences. I'm an eccentric, high energy team member, a hopeful romantic in love with user journeys - equally comfortable creating wireframes as I am coding email newsletters, launching PPC campaigns or leading a team.
Work Experience

From 2013 to July 2018 I ran Opuscule part time, helping small businesses get online and get found; compiling the best solutions for their brand, budget, needs and timeline. I've designed logos & wireframes, setup WordPress sites & email accounts, enhanced SEO presence and given hundreds of hours of tutorials.
Now I still do the same, but full time! Check out some very kind reviews on Yelp.

Who is Rob?
When I'm not thinking about or creating a better internet I can be found: trying to be a good husband & father, faking it at the gym, getting tattoos, geeking out over some podcast, re-watching "Parks and Rec" or occasionally, trying my hand at open mic standup comedy!
