WHY D3LV?

You're totally tech-savvy,
using all kinds of digital tools every day like a pro.

Flexibility and creativity are your jam, and you're all about forging your own journey.

You're set on shaping a path that's 100% you, real and original.

There are too many charlatans choices.

Social media's packed with too many voices throwing advice, tutorials, and info at you, leading to major choice overload. With tech offering endless possibilities, it's incredible but kinda overwhelming to navigate solo.


There are no easy paths.

The secret is, there is no secret. There’s no shortcut, quick method, 15-minute course, or online tool that’s going to make you rich. The people telling you that stuff are “making it” because for every 1 of them, there are 9,999 other people willing to give them $7 to find out their ‘secret’.


College is overrated and overpriced.

Speaking from real life, I'm sitting on a mountain of debt with not much to show for it. It's all about following someone else's playbook, made for their benefit, not yours. You don't really get lessons on real-world skills, handling business, tech, innovation, or anything crucial for today and tomorrow. Why drop a hundred grand and four years only to end up barely ahead of where you started?


You need space and time TO explore.

When you're young, chase variety and adventure, not just safety and security. This is your time to take risks, experiment, discover your passions, learn your strengths, and develop. You deserve to be paid for this growth journey, not be paying for it. While your curiosity's alive and kicking, let it thrive, don't let the job market crush it.


You deserve community.

Not many have nailed what a great one should be like. Some are 'cool' but not really useful or fulfilling. They're fun to hang out in, but don't do much for your career growth.

Plus, a lot of folks in these spaces are just looking to gain from others. They're built around a central figure, not for the benefit of the members. And there's often too much taking, not enough giving.

There's a better way to do this.

WHO’S BEHIND THIS?

👋 J Wilt

I spent the last two decades at the intersection of discovery, design, and development to help teams build innovative products and experiences.

I've worked with startups, agencies, and Fortune 500 brands. I’ve built my own products with low-code and no-code tools.

I’m always experimenting and I approach my work with a sense of play. I’m a dad who wants to my young son to have better options for his future.

COMPANIES I’VE WORKED WITH

“you had a huge impact on me. ”

“wanted to reach out and let you know how lucky I feel to have gotten the chance to learn so much from you so early on in my career.”

Senior Designer

“I’ve learned so much from you indirectly, mostly how to do work that matters and not waste your time on things that don’t.”
