Meet the team

Two people from Gilroy. One standard for every page.

Loomwest is a two-person studio in Gilroy. Karson handles the first conversation and the relationship. Andre designs, builds and launches every site and remains the point of contact afterward.

Andre Costa

Measures first, decorates second.

Andre Costa founded Loomwest in Gilroy, where he was born and raised. He holds a BA in Environmental Science with a minor in Sustainable Water Resources from San José State University and a Water Environment certificate from Gavilan College, and he works in civil and septic plan design and land surveying at Faria Engineering & Surveying. That background sets the standard for the studio: a site is measured before it is decorated, and nothing ships until the numbers hold up on a phone.

He designs and builds every site himself, writes the copy with the client, manages the launch, and remains the point of contact afterward. Every design decision on a Loomwest site is his own; modern tooling is what lets him deliver a finished build in days rather than months.

Karson

Karson is Loomwest's partner for sales and client relationships. Born and raised in Gilroy, he holds a degree in philosophy and sociology and works as a finance manager at Audi Fremont, a job built on understanding what a person actually needs and putting the right agreement in front of them. At Loomwest he handles the first conversation with every new client: the goals for the site, the customers it needs to reach, and the right size of build for the budget. He documents that conversation so nothing has to be repeated, hands it to Andre for the design, and stays available to the client through launch.

He meets clients in person across Gilroy, Hollister and the South Bay, or by phone, whichever suits them.

Why Loomwest exists

Work that deserves to be found.

Good local businesses lose customers to a search result every day. The contractor who answers the phone, the spa with a waiting list of regulars, the accountant whose clients have trusted them for twenty years: each is judged in a few seconds by a page they may never have looked at themselves, and the call goes to whoever looked ready.

Loomwest brings the discipline of engineering to that problem. A site is measured before it is decorated, built by hand to a fixed price and a fixed timeline, and checked on a phone before it goes live. Good work deserves to be found, and building the page that gets it found is the whole job.

How we work

One brief, one builder, direct contact throughout.

First

The brief

Karson takes the brief: what the business does, who it needs to reach, and what the current site is costing it. Written down once, so the client never repeats it.

Then

The build

Andre designs, writes and builds the site, measures it on a phone, and sends a private preview with a short review form before anything goes live. Modern tooling keeps the build fast; every design decision is made by hand.

After

The follow-through

No account managers and no ticket queues. A change request goes to either partner and is handled directly.
