Expensive enterprise networking experts are great, but that six-figure “security appliance” support contract they scare their clients into signing won’t make soft-proofing your PSDs any easier, nor will their voluminous array of vendor certifications build you that custom app or plugin you wish existed. Free help is always available, but can you really trust a kid who resets iPods at the mall to give you a straight answer whenever the knowledgebase you’ve probably already Googled through comes up empty handed?

KHI was founded in 2001 by a former Apple engineer as a mobile boutique consultancy focused on addressing the problems of budget-conscious creative professionals—people who make their Macs make stuff. The kinds of stuff

that can’t be expressed as a spreadsheet, and the kinds of problems that can’t be solved by sales pitches or special financing options. It is the founder’s belief that—while you may have to suffer for your art—you shouldn’t have to take software-related advice from anyone who’s never written any, nor should you expect useful print matching tips to come from anyone whose partner logo covered process color business cards make your eyes bleed fire.

This enterprise eschewing approach is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but we know there are a lot of very smart Mac users out there who aren’t too keen on paying for the bullshit brand ambassadorship that usually comes calling in consultant’s clothes. If you’re one of them, then we should get along famously.
