Justin Batson

Business operations leader and creative.

I build systems for communities and ideas.

My work moves between branch operations, public service, local events, websites, photography, art, and music. All with the same goal: bring people together to accomplish great things.

Community engagement

Work that reaches beyond the walls of the workplace.

Websites and digital projects

Useful systems.

These projects are where the operations brain and creative brain shake hands in a dimly lit room. Some are polished sites, some are prototypes, and some are strange machines built to solve a very specific problem.
