IBA is a trade name of Isthmus Digital Media Group LLC, a Wisconsin-based company I founded to bridge creative vision with structured execution. My background spans public-sector consulting, digital media, and grassroots entrepreneurship — including contributions to Wisconsin DVR’s Self-Employment Toolkit and program improvements at UW–Stout’s SVRI division.
