[ A solo practice by Jules Marsh ]
Where the river meets the sea — a mixed-water practice for the things you're building.
I'm Jules.I work from a single desk on the Salish Sea, on a handful of crafts that overlap more than they look like they should: custom software, business consulting, seaweed education, and quieter consultations. One person, a few currents.
"We are sick of these tired cycles of economic vulnerability, resource grabs, and waste and harm spiraling down. We are ready to breathe differently. And evolve."

Integrity over scale
[Where are you headed?]
Two doors — and a quieter third.
[ Studio ]
Business strategy & software, built to last.
Custom web apps, database architecture, bookkeeping, financial planning, and brand strategy. I take on work the industry needs but nobody is doing at a scale small teams can actually afford — high-touch partnerships priced for the folks who need them most. Specifics upon request.
For individuals and small businesses who want a real site and a real partner — not a template and a support ticket.
[ Seaweed ]
Intertidal foraging — walks, harvest law, recipes & whales.
Small-group low-tide walks and tastings around Camano Island, plus where it's legal to harvest in WA, OR & CA, a recipe and ID library, printable field guides, and a live Salish Sea whale-sighting map.
[ SEAWEED COMMUNITY ACTION FUND ]
Help shape seaweed’s next steps.
Community-funded education, outreach, and shared policy work. Read the proposal, share a barrier or useful change, or explore contribution options on Open Collective. Your experience helps decide what comes first.
No payment or account is needed to add your name and input here. Free support and financial contributions are separate.
[ Quiet door ]
Enlichen — slowness, symbiosis, self-inquiry, plant medicine.
Gentle wellness coaching and teaching that holds reverence for plant medicine as ancient medicine. For the quieter side of feeling well. For those already looking.
[Rates & access]
Every service carries a sliding-scale Driftline rate — no proof required, just ask. All pricing is listed as transparent ranges; nothing is gated behind a discovery call. If the top of a range still doesn't meet your situation, I make room.

[Origin & arc]
Built for the teams the industry forgets.
Brackish started where most tools stop. The aquaculture and agriculture co-ops I work with needed operations software, financial tracking, and permitting support — but the market only serves enterprises or hobbyists. I build in the gap: high-touch platforms and consulting priced for small teams who still need enterprise-grade care.

[The Tide Line]
Field notes from the tide, in your inbox.
West Coast seaweed, in one inbox: the news, the policy moves, the science worth knowing, plus walk dates and the occasional letter from me. Quiet, never noisy, and you can leave any time.
Let's get brackish.
