About
Twenty Bellows
Jason Crist’s web studio in Louisville, Kentucky. Who I am and where the name came from.
Hi. It’s me,
Jason Crist
Twenty Bellows is my Web Dev studio. I’m a software engineer in Louisville, Kentucky, with twenty-plus years into building for the web. I’ve been working with agencies and small businesses since the early 00’s.
In my journeys I’ve spent time at Automattic, contributing to Gutenberg and WordPress core, building block themes, and doing work on Create Block Theme, the plugin with twenty thousand active installs that made building Block Themes easy.
Before that I shaped the front-end architecture of Tickets.com’s ProVenue suite and led the team that built its ticket-buying experience.
I have contributed to a lot of things over the years. Much of it in the open. A lot of that can be found on GitHub.
The name
Beneath the towering peaks of Mount Olympus, in a hidden cavern where molten rivers flow and sparks dance in the air, lay the workshop of Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and forge.
Known for his unparalleled craftsmanship, his true secret lay not just in his skill but in his twenty magical bellows, enchanted tools that breathe life into his creations. Each bellows was a masterpiece in its own right, responding to the god’s thoughts and commands with divine precision.
Twenty Bellows embodies the spirit of Hephaestus’ magical tools, striving to create software solutions that blend craftsmanship with innovation. Like the god’s workshop, we forge ideas into reality, ensuring every project is not just well-made but extraordinary.
The mark
Power & Purpose
The mark is an anvil with Zeus’ lightning, which Hephaestus creates, between the words Δύναμη and Σκοπός: power and purpose.
The wordmark sets Twenty in a hand-cut serif over Bellows in a geometric sans.
It was created by Dotty Design.
