<h4 class="notop">Tilling the soil</h4>
<p>It's no secret to my friends and family that I love learning about and supporting renewable and sustainable practice and products. Upon stepping up to help out with the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center's WTBI accelerator program, I instantly found and partnered up with an incredibly smart and funny team that is Grow Bioplastics.
<p>Over the course of the program, a fellow developer, <a href="http://bshow.co">Bobby Showalter</a>, and myself were to analyze the entrepreneurs' elements and improve upon the formula.
<p></p>

<div class="words">
<h4>The growth process</h4>
</div>
<div class="left-img nobottom">

</div>
<div class="side-col">
<p>It all starts with brainstorming and lots of sticky notes. After listening to what the team had to say about their goal and product, Bobby and I quickly started to map out what kind of problems we needed to solve and how we were to solve them. Instantly, I was able to produce a cheap and effective social media marketing plan and branding assets for them, so that we could move on to building up their pressence on the web.</p>

</div>
<div class="side-col">
<p>Just as before, we started with plans and, in this case and many of my other project, these came in the form of sketches and mockups. We knew that nothing too complicated was involved with this site, but, regardless, we wanted to seperate the site into B2C and B2B pathways, with some auto-collected social media posts, an email subscription form, and links to other accounts across the web, at the tail end.</p>

</div>
<div class="side-col">
<p>After a good sprint, Bobby and I were able to take a step back, hand our work over to the team for inspection, and move on to fine-tuning other, smaller aspects of the project.</p>
</div>
<div class="words">
<h4>What is the team up to now?</h4>
<p>When Tony and Jeff aren't planning for or winning investment competitions, they're working on improving their alternative-to-plastic formula and I'm continually working with them to develop a more attractive and accessible marketing, design, and web assets. In specific and the near future, we're looking to push out interactive infographics, so that more people are aware of where agricultural plastics are made and desposed of and how they can get in volved.</p>
