[ 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."

Brackish & Co. — 00-BC
Integrity over scale
[Where are you headed?]
Three doors — and a quieter fourth.
[ 01 // 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.
[ 02 // 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.
Next walkSep 7 · 10 spots[ 03 // Odd jobs & one-offs ]
Small commissions, side quests, the in-between.
Short-run work that doesn't fit a tidy bucket — mobile massage and Reiki, car detailing, private chef & catering, meal planning, a printed zine, a weekend website, a strange little tool. If it's interesting and finite, send it over.
[ 04 // 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.
