The Making of :Dipify
& Growth of an Entrepreneur

Still haven’t had the time to update this page…

New work just keeps coming up.

I ask myself, how a person with such a crappy personal page get some much web-dev and design work?  

Simple!

Referrals, baby!

Good service gets around.

It’s more about success, than pretty things.

That’s why I do this.

I still hope to have a cool new page for ya’ll, soon…

I’ve been pretty absent these days.  Between new clients, DipifyAllYouCanLoveHiddenPublic, (All three with updates and new design), and Volunteering at Chill I haven’t had much sleep and time to myself.

After the long weekend, expect new stories and new design.

Originally, we wanted to make a friend of your phone.  One that always looks out for you, even when you don’t ask.

During our past professions, we collectively organized a lot of social events. We both found events geared towards singles the most interesting. There is something uplifting about how a relationship can change a life. However, making a lasting impact was the challenge. We couldn’t just simply gather a bunch of strangers into a room without expecting some to find their corners. We really had to roll up our sleeves to make sure nobody was left out.

In dating, opportunities do not end with just finding a match. Individuals need to build a connection from a proper introduction to hit it off. Amidst growing social anxiety, words commonly come short for many people. Even compatible couples can fall on the wrong end of an awkward conversation— especially two adorably shy individuals.

Traditionally, many find support in friends and hosts.  Such was the role we played at our events.  When we first thought about creating an app, we looked at technology as being like a best friend. It can provide us entertainment and comfort in a new social space. Not to mention a smart phone is the first and last thing we see each day. We began drawing parallels between a dependable friendship and true innovation.

With Dipify, we have idea for an online service that acts as an awesome wingman (or wing-woman) and a friend— always looking out for an opportunity for you to meet some awesome people.

Crashed Gay Party

“How do I get myself into these things?” as we took the elevator up to the penthouse of the Sandman Hotel on Davie St, Vancouver.  Techno music and outspoken voices seeped through the metal doors as the elevator neared the 23rd floor was a preview to the impending fun.  21… 22.. 23!

Some serious tea culture is brewing at O5 Rare Tea Bar, in West 4th, Vancouver.  It sure beats drinking burnt coffee to Anne Murray.

Owner, Pedro Villalón, who has come a long way from slanging tea from the back of his truck, has created something special out of his obsession and endless travel.   His passion is quite infectious.
