Creative Principal

Cozy

I’m the Founder & CEO of Cozy, a small creative services agency based in San Diego, CA. At Cozy, we execute on my strange self-loathing around design, computers, and agencies in service of providing our clients all the creative they need and none they don’t. 

The goal is to alleviate worry — the creeping doubt that comes from needing design and content to convince the world you’re as good as you are. We got you.

San Diego Digital Designers

SLACK ROOM + MEETUPS = COMMUNITY! 🙌
Discuss design, get feedback, land jobs, find tools, hire designers, commiserate, celebrate…

Introvert- and extrovert-friendly. Conversation, not networking. We are the low-maintenance hum of connection and energy between the big fancy-pants industry events. 

We’re here for lone rangers who miss humanity and big-teamers who need to connect beyond their clan. C’mon in (as long as you are, in fact, a digital designer in San Diego).

Information Architect

Founder + CEO at Cozy

With 25 years of experience in digital design, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless businesses — from startup to Fortune 50 —  navigate their design and marketing challenges.

On the SaaS product side, as a UX & UI design specialist, I’m particularly jazzed about making complex screens feel simple — even for expert users. I believe good design gets out of the way (for the user), but can be a powerful weapon (for sales).

On the marketing side, I focus on streamlining design as a vehicle for the real important stuff: content marketing and demand generation. I’ve seen how the right design can amplify a brand’s message and drive significant growth.

If you're interested in discussing UX/UI design, content marketing, demand generation, or anything in between, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to a good conversation.

Tim Barnett

Outsourced digital services

Over the past two decades, I’ve built a career rooted in helping businesses grow by solving their  operational, digital and lead-generation challenges. 

My journey began with 2BInteractive, a full-service digital agency I co-founded in 2006. In 2012, I established our first offshore team in the Philippines - a pivotal move that significantly enhanced our delivery capabilities and shaped my long-term belief in the power of offshoring. Recognising the challenges agencies face in scaling their digital capacity, I rebranded the business in 2017 as Sonnet - a white-label provider specialising in premium web development and digital marketing solutions. Today, Sonnet partners with agencies across North America and ANZ, helping them scale efficiently and deliver exceptional results. My primary focus remains business development, supported by a highly capable offshore team that manages day-to-day operations.

In 2022, I co-founded Parallel, who helps small to medium businesses unlock the benefits of offshoring by setting up tailored teams in the Philippines. Inspired by the transformative potential of offshore teams, my focus at Parallel is on scaling the business, building client relationships, and establishing it as a trusted partner for companies navigating the complexities of offshoring.  

In 2019, I formalised my expertise in lead generation through Many Hands, an online course that teaches professionals how to identify, engage, and nurture prospects using LinkedIn. Many Hands distills the strategies I’ve used to grow my businesses into a simple, repeatable process anyone can use to generate leads.  

With a current focus divided between Parallel, Sonnet and Many Hands, I thrive on building strong teams, fostering innovation, and helping other businesses achieve their goals.

In 2019, after the success of growing Sonnet primarily on the back of LinkedIn, I formalised the process and started another company, Many Hands Connections. 

Many Hands uses a proven process to identify and nurture prospects in your target audience.
