Bogdan Litescu
Programmer, System Engineer
What I believe:
As a programmer, I believe that the keys to life are attached to… well, my computer keyboard. Originally from Romania, I grew tired of the lack of bandwidth and decided to pack my bags and relocate to Singapore with my loving wife. A typical day for me is sitting behind a computer crafting my next line of code for my own dnn development company. When I’m not coding I’m sleeping (which is not too often).
My personal mission with every client:
To code is to love and I love to code. I live for the moments that I create software from scratch which sends tingles up the spine of my client. I take support seriously, and as a result I keep an ear bud plugged into each ear at all times (one for each support line).
5 fun facts about Bogdan:
- I’m married, but I’m not really sure how it happened.
- My wife threatened to take out a restraining order between me and my computer.
- The perfect vacation for me is a trip to the iStore.
- Just because I don’t respond right away doesn’t mean I’m not solving your problem.
- I wear so many hats these days… not counting the one I have on right now.

Bacus
Security
What I believe:
This question gives me paws for thought, and I’ve chewed on it for a while now. What I most firmly believe is that social net-woofing has cat-apulted my studly stature with all the lady dogs out there. How else would they know I work in security? Ladies love a dog in uniform, amirite?
What else do I believe? Hmm. Well, since the premises are safe and sound at the moment here in Jango Studios, I believe I’ll go take Morning Nap #7 – right after I plow through half a bag of food, pee on the corner of Dad’s desk, and bark incessantly at the squirrels I see through this window while Dad is on the phone with a client in the next room (sorry if that client is you). Gotta keep these humans on their toes around here!
My personal mission:
Personally, I’m missing that one client of my dad’s who had that cute female chocolate labrad…
Oh, M-I-S-S-I-O-N?! Thought it said “missin”. Sorry, I chewed my reading glasses into a pile of dust the other day. I guess you could say my mission is to keep everything safe around here. Let’s just say that if my dad has ever mentioned to you anything about a “secure file transfer”… he ain’t exactly talking in fancy computer language. Smell my drift?
5 fun facts about Bacus:
- I had fun once. It sucked. There’s nothing fun or funny about the serious business of security. And security is a 168/49 job (in dog hours – duh).
- I get angry when hearing my breed name mispronounced. There’s no “Rock” in “Rottweiler”. No “wilder” either.
- I’ve been reading a book called, “How to Open Refrigerator Doors: An Instruction Manual for Dogs.” Dad won’t be happy when I finally finish it.
- Dad once spilled a beer on the floor, and I lapped it up like it was my last meal. Yummerz! That was like a whole case of beer in dog beers!
- Hump Day means something totally different to me.

Trent Smith
Owner
What I believe:
All business owners pride themselves on great customer service. However, I believe great customer service should be expected by clients and delivered upon every time — not touted as some spectacular achievement or fluffy selling point.
Also, I believe that nothing halts progress more than poor communication and lack of structure. That’s why efficient communication streams, combined with well executed strategies and systems, are the keys to delivering consistently positive results. And when results are consistent, they can be measured and improved over time.
My personal mission with every client:
By implementing well defined processes, leveraging technology, and hiring talented people, I fulfill my personal mission of delivering measurable value to clients at a price point they can easily justify. Operating from virtual office space, our team runs lean without all the financial bloat present within other companies. We’re experts in the allocation of time and talent, and this always translates into bigger bang for your buck.
5 fun facts about Trent:
- At the ripe old age of thirteen I created my first product — an industrial dustpan. It retired after a whopping thirteen years of brutal service.
- By age fifteen I started my first business. My employees picked me up from high school to go to work.
- Without a job or credit, I purchased my first investment property at age twenty.
- I have an insatiable desire to improve things; I’m always asking, “How can this be better?”
- I’ve been called frugal, but I prefer the term “waste resistant”. In fact, that was Minimalism calling; it wanted its lifestyle back. 🙂

Mike Bell
Copywriter, Search Engine Optimization & Social Media Expert
What I believe:
As a copywriter, I believe that my highest duty to a client is no different than that of a cosmetic dentist — my job is to make you look good. The only difference is that instead of drills and needles, my toolkit contains words. Just as the dentist enhances your smile, I do the same for your virtual image. In both cases, our job isn’t complete until your first impression to the world is an unforgettable one.
I believe that I must get to know your industry as well as you do… and your target audience even better. If I can’t effectively tell your company’s story and inspire confidence in your brand, I’m not worth my salt. Fancy words can never atone for lack of preparation or command of the subject matter; readers are smarter than that.
I also believe that as your copywriter I must be versatile in tone and diction. For example, you are now reading my native style. I feel most comfortable with casual and conversational copy with a splash of humor when appropriate. However, if your subject matter is more serious or technical, I believe that a great copywriter should have the ability to adapt accordingly. And while on the subject of what I believe, I believe you should have full confidence in me no matter what your writing requirements are.
My personal mission with every client:
I cut my literary teeth on a love interest in fifth grade when I discovered that through the written word, I possessed the ability to persuade and elicit real emotions from others. Yes, my first masterpiece was a love letter. Since that day, writing has been entwined in the tapestry of my identity as much as anything else.
My mission with each client is to recreate what I felt on that day in fifth grade. No, I’m not seeking your hand to the fifth grade dance, but I do want you to fall in love with Jango Studios. It’s my mission to exploit every ounce of my talent to make that happen.
And in case you’re wondering, she did check the “Yes” box. And then she traced that check with a yellow highlighter. Score!
5 fun facts about Mike:
- I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and correcting friends’ grammar on Facebook.
- My brain isn’t wired to stop behind the white line at stop lights. To me, the white line means, “Three more feet from here.”
- My appetite is voracious; I could probably do well on the competitive eating circuit. Some people who have seen me eat are convinced that my great grandfather was a Rottweiler.
- Ketchup disgusts me, but I love tomatoes.
- I have a great sense of smell — a fact which lends credibility to my theory that my great grandfather was not a Rottweiler, but instead a Bloodhound.

Helen Johnson
Designer
What I believe:
I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes the beholder has low standards! Just kidding, but over the course of the years, I’ve come to appreciate well designed logos, websites, enewsletters, etc. While functionality and copy are massively important, having a solid design is crucial to having people want to read the words you’ve written and use the applications you’ve programmed. Taking the time to develop a strong design will help your cause tenfold. Let’s face it – sex sells.
My personal mission with every client:
In certain situations, there are times when a design just comes to me…and it resonates with me…it puts me in a good mood every time I look at it. I look at it on my monitor up close and get happy. I look at it on my iphone and feel glad. I look at on my ipad and want to just stare at it because it satisfies me so much. If every client could experience the same sort of gratification with the designs I create for him or her, my personal mission with each client would be fulfilled.
5 fun facts about Helen:
- While I’ve spent years obsessing about exercise and fitness, I can’t handle calorie counting and mileage tallying. I just like feeling the burn and having my pants not be too tight!
- I have two kids and a husband. Some days I want to ship them all to Novosibirsk, but if I did, I would be totally lost.
- Speaking of Novosibirsk, I majored in Russian and lived in Ukraine for a while. And then I learned Spanish and lived in Panama. Now I live in Columbia, SC and create websites. Hmmm.

Matt Struve
Designer
What I believe:
We live in a digital age of information overload. It’s easier than ever to skip past anything that doesn’t compel you to pause for a deeper look. Leonardo Da Vinci said “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” I believe excellent design follows this statement. Simple design, done right, not only can command attention but establish immediate trust, produce inspiration, and leave a lasting memory. I believe “effective” design requires more than pretty pictures and buttons. It requires an uncluttered visual experience, confusion-free navigation, and should be intuitive to recognize where to go and how to fulfill your interest.
My personal mission with every client:
Listening is a lost art. In the same way no two people have the same fingerprints, every client has a unique vision and message to offer the world, and it requires the skill of true listening to understand and convey it for them. My mission is to deeply listen to every client, to put myself in their shoes. My design aim is to present their uniqueness with clarity and distinctiveness. My goal is that every client will glow with pride when they share their website with the world.
5 fun facts about Matt:
- I started my design career at 4 years old, drawing semi-trucks from memory, mud flaps and all.
- A personal hobby of mine is making videos go viral on YouTube. (over 4 million views and counting)
- A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I was an underwear model.
- I geek out on all things psychology and the subconscious.
- One of my dreams is to discover secret remote beaches on every continent.
