Hey, Connor McKenzie here.

I'm the founder of Kintsu Labs Inc. and an official Framer Pro Expert.

I build websites. I help service-based companies in North America attract ideal clients and customers, recruit great people, and build reputation. My support is end-to-end, spanning website strategy, design, development, and consulting.

I'm based in sunny Calgary (AB) Canada and mainly collaborate remotely.

  • Updated work coming soon.

About

After originally studying biochemistry at The University of Victoria, my focus has naturally shifted to cognitive science (↗) and Human-Computer Interaction (↗). I was pulled towards understanding human nature, how systems function, and the intricacies of interface design.

For over eight years I've been fascinated by why something feels right or frustratingly broken, and how small details shift the way people think and act. The invisible craft behind experiences that feel effortless.

A significant part of my life has been athletics and I've been fortunate to have competed across a variety of sports, even upwards to Olympic selection.

I love a challenge and the pursuit of getting better.

Approach

I believe that great things come from being intentional with an objective then pursuing with relentless care. I take pride and ownership in my work and treat everything I do as an opportunity to function like a partner.

Each project is unique and built around scope and what works best for your circumstances. Projects can be highly collaborative integrating c-suite and leadership, marketing, sales, and third-parties, or more hands-off and async.

Time is our scarcest resource. Because of this, I like to keep the actual process simple, while being efficient and effective.

Skills

I work across the full arc of a website project, from focused single-page work to enterprise builds and long-term partnerships.

Availability

I maintain a carefully balanced client portfolio to ensure each project receives the attention and expertise it deserves. While I'm always available to discuss new opportunities, it's important to ensure mutual fit.

Most projects start in a few days. For those who prefer to plan ahead, advance scheduling can be accommodated. Expedited options may also be available.
