About Chris

I'm Chris Purnell, the owner of Cloud Kumo Studios. With over 7 years of experience building software and leading engineering work at companies like FedEx and Genni/Songfluencer, I bring technical rigor into the small business world.

At Cloud Kumo Studios, I use a code-first, owner-led process. Proven systems and AI-assisted production keep the work moving, while the message, design, technical choices, quality assurance, and launch stay tailored to your business.

Beyond client work, I build products. Writefully So is a local-first writing app for novelists — featuring character profiles, world-building tools, an interactive map editor, and manuscript analysis — all running privately on your machine. It's the same engineering discipline applied to a product I'm passionate about.

Whether you're launching a local business, modernizing an existing brand, or running a more complex ecommerce operation, I bring the same creativity and engineering discipline to get it live and keep it healthy.
