Ross Nelson
CEO & Founder
Started One Eleven from a single client relationship. Still the person most likely to tell you not to build the thing.
About One Eleven
People before projects.
We're a small, senior team who partner with a handful of clients at a time. We'd rather build a long relationship and the right thing than take on everyone and ship the expected thing.
Meet the team
The people you'll actually work with.
No account managers, no hand-offs. The people who scope your work are the people who build it, and the ones you'll get to know.
Leadership
Michael Shepherd
COO / CTO
Lives between the business problem and the build, keeping operations tight and the technology pointed at outcomes.
Tyron Duvenage
Technical Lead
Sets the engineering bar and mentors the team: equal parts architecture, pragmatism and calm under pressure.
Engineering
Daniel Nelson
Software Engineer
Full-stack builder who ships features end to end and sweats the details users never notice.
Ross Hartigan
Software Engineer
Backend and integrations: the reliable plumbing that keeps products running at scale.
Salah Mohamed
Software Engineer
Data and AI pipelines, turning messy inputs into something clean and queryable.
Thato Sebelemetja
Software Engineer
Mobile and web across the stack, with a soft spot for smooth, considered interactions.
Design & Marketing
Jessica Bland
UX Engineer & Designer
Bridges design and code, turning a wall of ideas into one clean, simple experience that ships.
Jessica Shepherd
Marketing Assistant
Keeps the studio's story clear and consistent, from the first touchpoint to the long-term relationship.
Why clients stay
The work is why they come. The relationship is why they stay.
Most of our clients have worked with us for years, month to month, with nothing but the results keeping them there. A few reasons the relationship lasts:
Consistency
The same senior people, showing up the same way, release after release. You never have to re-explain your business.
Trust
We say what we'll do and do what we say. When we're unsure, we tell you, and when something's a bad idea, we say so.
Communication
Clear rhythms, short feedback loops and no jargon. You always know where things stand and what comes next.
An extension of your team
We work in your channels, in your rhythm, toward your goals: less an outside vendor, more the technical team you wish you had in-house.
Let's talk
Come say hello. Bring the problem.
We start every relationship with a free consultation: an honest conversation about what you're trying to do. No pitch, no obligation.
