Hi, I'm Brenden.

I'm a designer, developer, audio engineer, and builder based in Canton, MA. I run Cold Soul Records, make instrumental hip-hop as Faded Ronin, and build the websites, apps, systems, and workflows behind my own projects.

I work directly with people who need useful things built: custom websites, storefronts, AI systems, apps, audio releases, and workflows that remove repetitive work.

I don't just sketch ideas. I ship them.
