President

Ken Krutsch

I help businesses turn underperforming apps into award-winning digital products.

As the founder of KRUTSCH, I lead a team that specializes in UX-first design, scalable development, and results-driven digital transformation. Whether it’s refreshing a stale mobile app, rebuilding trust after poor app store reviews, or launching something brand new — we bring clarity, craft, and measurable impact to every engagement.

Our sweet spot? Complex, tech-heavy apps that need to actually work for real users.
Our secret weapon? 15+ years of solving problems others walk away from.

Let’s cut through the noise — here’s what actually works.
