Garrett Winder
Owner
Garrett leads the day-to-day operations for our company and has a proven track record for leading high quality, large scale web projects for clients like the BBC, Edelman Digital and Zurich Insurance. He has extensive experience in the digital client services environment but is also a successful entrepreneur, having co-founded a social analytics platform that was acquired in 2010. He received his Bachelors of Business Administration in Accounting from Abilene Christian University and lives in Dallas, Texas.
Chris Rowe
Development Director
Chris is a sprightly chap with a hawk eye for the smallest of details, he keeps the team up-to-date with our development processes and workflows. Spending most of his time beavering away in semantic markup and super organized stylesheets - Chris likes to use every keyboard shortcut known to man. He’s a pro Craft CMS developer and will definitely buy a DeLorean some day. Chris lives in Nottingham, England - and the tree in his garden is a direct descendant of the Major Oak.
Ariel Kidwell
Studio Manager
With 10+ years experience in integrated marketing and project management for everything from tiny nonprofits to global agencies, Ariel is the glue that keeps this ship afloat. She leads the scheduling and planning of all of our projects, as well as client communication and keeping our team on track. Outside of work you can find her traveling to remote places and generally doing all things outdoorsy. In another life she’ll have a tiny house in the mountains of Colorado, but Dallas will do for now.
Boots Highland
Web Developer
Boots is an Internet veteran and bass guitarist with 20 years of web experience and hundreds of websites under his belt. He built his first website in 1997 using Macromedia Dreamweaver 2 and immediately fell in love with the craft. He pushes the limits in website interactions, being known to spend a day or two programming the perfect animation for a hover effect. Boots works out of our Dallas, Texas office and, oddly enough, has never owned a pair of boots.
Steve Sharpe
Web & Mobile Developer
Steve is our in-house engineer. If you can dream it, he can build it – from complex web applications to native mobile applications for iOS and Android. He’s been a developer since Y2K, working on large scale projects for brands like Coca-Cola, KPMG, Unilever and Procter & Gamble. Steve is one of the latest editions to our team and we’re thrilled to have him. His thoroughness and attention to detail is second to none, and he gives Chris some real competition in the Apple Fanboy column.
Gavin Platt
Web Designer & Developer
Gavin joined Good Work in August 2016 after 10 years as a Leeds-based freelance web designer & front-end developer, and we couldn’t be happier. His Northern wit coupled with his eye for clean, intuitive design fits in just right here. When Gavin’s not making websites, you can find him out at gigs around Leeds, mountain biking and climbing. He takes working remotely pretty seriously and we never really know where he is.
Chase Giunta
Web Developer
Chase, formerly @chase on Twitter until his handle was stolen by JP Morgan, is a Dallas native with a tricky last name (it’s pronounced Jenta). Chase speaks human, is an ex-Apple employee, and most recently spent 6 years as an in-house developer at a local consumer software company. Long story short, he has a lot of green squares on his GitHub profile and the skills and attention to detail we love. We tied the knot in September 2017.
Jeff Irwin
Web Developer
Jeff joined our Dallas, Texas office in September 2017 days after graduating from The Iron Yard Academy. He was our first ever Development Apprentice, a 6 month program we created to help quickly transition top web development graduates into the work force. Jeff is a scratch golfer, so roughly 100 times better at golf than the rest of our team combined. We haven’t made him water the flowers or make the coffee yet, but I’m sure that’ll happen soon.
