About me
About me
Hey, I’m Brandon Crenshaw — a product developer and creative technologist based in Chicago. I specialize in building user-centric digital products that blend clean UI/UX with powerful, scalable functionality.
With a background spanning AI, Blockchain, Fintech, and Web3, my journey has been driven by a deep curiosity for how things work — and how to make them work better. Whether it's designing seamless front-end experiences, architecting smart backend flows, or launching startup ideas from 0 to 1, I thrive at the intersection of design, code, and product strategy.
Let’s build something exceptional.
