Our Mission
To empower mission-driven organizations, we take pride in building creative, user-friendly websites tailored specifically for the hard-working communication teams we partner with.
We're proud to be a part of the team.
We are honored to be considered a valuable part of the team during each of our projects. Then there are times when we become a mainstay—assisting in the ongoing growth and development of the brands and websites we helped to create.
Our Inspiration
Upthentic is a combination of the words “up” and “authentic”—they describe our goals both personally and professionally. Our brand purpose is grounded in a commitment to integrate honesty and creativity into every interaction, with the aim of uplifting those around us.
Where it all started for us
In 2010 we traded our cubicles for a motorhome because our nine to five lives were lacking inspiration and creativity. We sold everything, started our own business and hit the road. We traveled across the U.S. stopping at roadside oddities, local eateries and National Parks. We visited family and friends in-route. As we traveled we kept our career skills sharp—building websites from the control center of our vintage motorhome we dubbed Cheddar Yeti.
Currently, we live and work bi-coastal between our motorhome turned tiny house in the California desert and our new creative space in Providence, Rhode Island. Our client base spans the states and is comprised of friends we're proud to call teammates and teammates we are thrilled to call friends. Gratitude.
The Upthentic Creative Team

He brings to life visual elements with a keen eye for standards and performance, bridging the gap between designers and back-end developers. Rhode Island is where he grew up and found skateboarding.
