Pine Knob Solutions LLC · Michigan
Custom digital systems that stay.
Sites, apps, maps, content, and the marketing that compounds.
One shop. The founder still does the work.
Most digital work is rented. A designer for the mockups. A developer on a contract. A media buyer who has never stood where the customer stands. Then the account gets handed down.
We sell a stack. Marketing, design, systems, discipline, and Michigan. One shop that can write the page, ship the tool, shoot the content, and still be here to read what actually happened.

Same shop built every public piece — the site, the statewide Treasure Map, the video, the ads — and the operations software the festival still runs on. Twenty years. Still on the account.

What we build
Sites, apps, maps, content, and demand.
Websites and pages built for real use
Phones in parking lots. Pages that stay useful in February.
Event tools
The work that replaces the clipboard and Excel.
Social and content systems
They accumulate instead of restart.
Demand work
Measured and improved.
Fit
Who this is for
Operators, promoters, local businesses, and facilities who need digital that gets used — and a shop that will still answer next season. Work you can describe in one paragraph. A long account, not a launch week.
Who this is not for
A rebrand every quarter. A 90-day slide deck. Work that gets handed to a junior in year two.
The shop
David Edens
Owner of Pine Knob Solutions. Twenty years running the public internet for Michigan Antique Festival: every site, every post, every ad, every video.
Before that: machines built from parts in Tupperware bags, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, the Navy, then home to Michigan.
The name is local. The work is the system other people see without knowing who built it.
Talent stack, not a department.
