Creative Holding Company — Est. 2020
We build what the industry keeps skipping over — real tools, real teams, and studios where craft actually comes first.
A social platform built for creatives to showcase work, find opportunities, and connect with people who make things that matter. Think LinkedIn meets Upwork — built with community at the core, not engagement metrics.
NRVD's flagship creative agency, specializing in storytelling-driven content for athletes, brands, and campaigns in the outdoor and endurance space. Known for landmark work with Cannondale, EF Pro Cycling, and more.
We teamed up with our friends at The Lyrically Book to create TLB Connect — a high-contrast creator marketplace streamlining collaboration between brands and artists in the music and culture space.
NRVD started with a camera and a frustration. Every project we build exists because something was missing — and nobody else was making it right.
Whether we're on a race course or building a platform, the rule is the same: make something you'd actually be proud of. No padding. No optics. Just the work.
Three ventures. All built because we got tired of waiting for someone else to do it right.
I've spent most of my career behind a camera in some pretty unglamorous places — chasing cyclists through mud, freezing on mountain bike trails at 5am, trying to make a 10-second clip feel like a full story. That's where NRVD started. Not in a boardroom.
"I kept seeing the same gaps over and over — in how creatives get hired, how stories get told, how talent gets treated. So I started building the things I wished existed."
Pursue came first — a creative agency doing real work for real athletes and brands. The kind of stuff where the story actually matters. From there, Crafted was born out of pure frustration with how hard it is to find good creative work and good creative people in the same place.
None of this was planned on a whiteboard. It grew from doing the work, staying close to the people doing it, and refusing to build something I wouldn't personally use.
If you make things that actually mean something, you'll fit right in.
We're not looking for résumés. We're looking for people who give a damn about what they make.
All opportunities go through Crafted. No algorithm noise, no inflated postings — just real work from people who know what good looks like.
Got an idea, a project, or just want to say hey — reach out. We're real people and we actually read these.
