I had the original idea for SimpleSeating while discussing event planning with a diverse group of event planners in Chicago. Armed with the knowledge that there was a usability gap between the user and existing products, I partnered up with my good friend Joel Dudley to develop a simple yet profitable app that fits the needs of the target audience. As CEO, my responsibilities include product specifications, business development, and product design.
