Hey everyone,

Hello, my name is Steve Puttrich. Some of you may recognize me as a landscape painter or from my art workshops. You might not be aware of my previous work experience in the innovation industry, where I was a part of an excellent team at Parsons Corporation.

I am thrilled to share my latest venture, The Fairview Finder™. It is not just a tool but a reflection of what I have learned from listening to people's needs and my own experiences in finding creative ways to solve everyday design problems.

I have always believed that the best ideas come from understanding our real challenges, those little frustrations that nag at us. That is what I aimed to tackle with The Fairview Finder™. As a teacher at heart, I hope to make this innovation not just clever or cool but genuinely helpful.

I am here to learn as much as I am to teach, and I cannot wait to see how The Fairview Finder™ can help make life a bit easier and clearer or even inspire your own creative solutions.

Thank you for joining me on this new path.
