Who We Are

  • Nick Hodulik, President and CEO

    Nick Hodulik is founder and CEO of General Things. Nick has been working with computers for over 20 years and has a broad understanding of business, technology, people, and how they all interact.

    While attending Fordham University, where he majored in computer science and philosophy, Nick began working at Razorfish, at the time the world’s foremost digital consultancy. He worked his way up to the position of Director of Technology for Razorfish Subnetwork, which included such high-traffic sites as disinfo.com and bust.com, and managed all of their internal information technology.

    After Razorfish, driven by his unending love of cocktails and technology, he helped program and launch the now-defunct Remote Lounge in New York City’s Bowery, which was outfitted with hundreds of cameras arranged in a modern-day video “telephone bar.”

    Nick made his way to San Francisco in 2001 and started General Things, Inc., where he has since been at the helm since. At General Things he wears pretty much every hat, so it’s sort of silly to enumerate them. In his spare time Nick laughs and tries to make other people laugh. When he’s not doing that he’s lifting heavy objects or cooking delicious ones.

  • Jonathan Taylor, Vice President

    JT brings over 10 years of program management and marketing experience to General Things from the technology, healthcare and real estate industries. In college (and led by a desperate need of money), he turned to Dell for his first ‘real’ job, developing backup hardware and software solutions for enterprise and government clients. Subsequent roles have included soirees in Product Management, Marketing, Program Management and Operations. However, an insightful manager along the way quickly saw the potential for him to love project management, and so the courtship began. He’s been hooked on coming up with creative solutions for customers and dealing with complex project challenges ever since.

    He currently provides project management and consulting to Tolleson Design for a number of their large corporate clients such as CVS/pharmacy and Sun Microsystems, as well helps out on technology and web projects for the studio. He enjoys working through the creative process on print and digital projects, while helping to shape branding, identity and influence marketing decisions along the way. He holds a BA in Business Administration and a second degree in Biology. He loves to laugh and enjoys eating most any food, but often dreams of having an endless supply of peanut butter.

  • Demian Rosenblatt, Senior Designer & Branding Expert

    Demian combines his experience in storytelling and brand theory with proven design results. With over 14 years of hands-on, problem-solving, supervisory design experience, Demian’s work has run the gamut from inclusive corporate identity and branding design, user/web interface and packaging design, print/outdoor/TV advertising and motion picture graphic animation. Demian also created early groundbreaking interactive work for the web and for CD and DVD-ROM.

    As ZEFER’s Director of Branding, he got to work with Time-Warner, Akamai, The Walt Disney Company, IBM and AOL. His branding design experience since then has provided solutions for Michael Jordan’s SolToro Tequila Grill, The National College of Design & Technology, DorfmanPacific, Munro Shoes, ThermoGenesis, The Red Hat Society, Equator Extreme Anywear, Scala and Hartford York. His graphic animations have been prominently featured in motion pictures such as Seven, Executive Decision, Outbreak and Crimson Tide, and his work as an Art Director yielded a fresh atmosphere and a new perspective at the House of Blues.

    Besides the creative side of his work, Demian is equally technically adept. He is capable of supervising and working with high-end print, web, video and motion picture production, and uses the latest cost-effective digital technology. Despite this breadth of experience and media, Demian is always quite focused on what really matters: finding the simple truth that lies beneath every problem, and then using design to solve that problem.

    Demian attended the California Institute of the Arts with a BFA in Fine Arts. He currently teaches Branding Theory and Practice as well as Graphic Design at San Francisco State University’s Multimedia Studies Program.

  • Jeremy Linder, Developer

  • Gwen Park, Developer

    Gwen Park’s primary passion in life is sock puppet theater, but the lack of opportunity to express her inner Olivier in a size 6 striped sock led her to her second great passion: computers. Having a wide general interest in tech, she’s done a little of just about everything: support, coding, testing, sysadmining, project managing, blah blah blah. A few years ago, Gwen discovered drupal, a very clever but sometimes quirky system which was a good fit for her very clever but sometimes quirky self, and has pretty much never looked back. Gwen can found online at www.gwenpark.com.

  • Glenn Weatherson, Designer/Developer

    Glenn Weatherson is a young front end designer that can code CSS with his toes while his eyes are closed. He’s been doing web design for the past 6 years and eats open source applications like Wordpress throughout the day. Hand coding from the ground up is what Glenn offers for General Things. Espresso, whitespace and bikes are his main squeeze.
