Dylan's mind works like this: design+thinking+doing. Which boils down to: for over two decades, he has created profoundly unique concepts by merging and melding opportunity with technology, innovation with leadership.
He is currently the CEO and founding partner of Sunny HQ, an evolution in WordPress Smart Managed Hosting. Sunny HQ brings his vision to life of complete care WordPress website hosting, support and maintenance — while helping companies maximize the effectiveness of their website, as well.
Dylan regularly works as a “Design Thinker” for hire, consulting and coaching for a range of businesses and teams. He’s driven by a passion for life, balancing work and family through combinatory play–incorporating practice of guitar, kung fu, Qi gong and deep mediation into his daily routine.
His professional journey is a study in pushing the edge. Dylan integrated computer-aided design and 3D modeling into his Masters Studies of Design and Architecture at NC State. This was simply non-existent in the curriculum at the time. These skills landed him a job as a designer at Walt Disney Imagineering, furthering his passion for design, marketing and guest experience.
Dylan later became Director of 3D Visualization at a large architectural firm, and then VP of Application Development for a national hosting company. He then struck out on his own, running Ulanguzi, a boutique marketing agency, for a decade. He worked with a dizzying assortment of clients there–consumer goods, B2B, banking, hospitality and real estate, to cite a few. Just before opening Sunny HQ, Dylan served as the Director of Innovation for The Republik.
With a passion for new experiences and bringing to life new companies, products and services, Dylan draws on his professional and personal experiences to help customers grow their business. Over the years, he as contributed his time to many non-profit groups, and is now excited to do the same at Sunny HQ.
