The Team at Alternative Edge
Learn more about Raynefyre and Noah – the co-founders of Alternative Edge Web Design. (PS – one day we’ll have fun ocean-themed headshots… or maybe not, since Noah is terrified of this happening.)
Raynefyre Grayce
they/them
Over the years Raynefyre has evolved from humble beginnings as a stockboy and grease-covered bike mechanic at their dad’s sporting goods store to a nomadic artist and web designer with a passionate drive towards supporting the platforming and growth of thought leaders doing beautiful and progressive work.
For Raynefyre, if they can make digital life easier for folks writing new and powerful stories, they’re doing the work that they’re meant to do. As such, Raynefyre’s 12+ years in web design has not just been about creating beautiful websites. It’s about weaving together technology, authenticity, heart-fuelled spirituality, and embodied activism to bring visionary ideas to life.
When Raynefyre’s not busy coding, they also prioritize taking a break from screentime with their erotic embodiment facilitation work, organizing queer retreats, or by unplugging and getting into the woods.
Noah Klöze
he/they
Noah’s work in web development is about supporting the growth and vitality of businesses that are working for a brighter future. He’s seen many of the challenges and successes in alternative business and feels if there are ways he can bring his diverse skills to help therapists, retailers, educators, and other creative entrepreneurs create a streamlined and satisfying digital presence, he’s a happy guy.
Whether it’s crafting effective and eye-catching websites, writing great website copy, or collaborating with clients on do-able marketing systems and strategies, he’s all about helping his clients free up their time so they can do what they’re here to do and get to where they want to go.
When he’s not hustling for a brighter tomorrow, Noah’s probably busy in the garden, enjoying a good book by the ocean, or swinging some kettlebells.
