Jessie Sage and I have a lot of things in common—we both love Tex-Mex; we both like jazz music; the first albums we bought were the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 1991 classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik. But what probably binds us more than anything is a congruent set of values.

It is hard to stick with your values and beliefs in the entertainment industry, whether it is mainstream or adult. This industry, like any other business sector, requires a degree of pragmatism where you have to do business with someone that you’d otherwise probably wouldn’t have anything to do with.

We’re aware of this reality, but we feel that it doesn’t have to always be that way.

Both of us have spent over a decade of our lives in the adult industry; and we’ve learned a whole hell of a lot. One of the things we have learned—and seen for ourselves—is that there are many businesses in this industry who lack values. Some are outright predatory; taking advantage of the fact that professionals in the adult industry don’t have a lot of options due to societal stigma.

After a few long discussions, we realized that we could embark on a collaboration that would make this industry just a bit brighter; help this industry take just a smaller step forward.

So, we’re announcing a new creative services agency called Black Venom Digital.

Joined by the illustrious artist and activist Ashley Luz Ramos, Black Venom Digital is a new agency that will provide professional, transparent web design, graphic design, and brand management services to adult industry and non-adult industry professionals of all types. We aim to work with content creators, entertainers, and entrepreneurs.

Black Venom Digital will be guided by the principles and convictions that Jessie, Ashley, and I hold dear—accessibility, affordability, inclusivity, and transparency. If your work, your brand, and your mission are compatible with our values, then we will not hesitate to offer you our services to help you take your online efforts to the next level.

Jessie, Ashley, and myself look forward to making a positive impact on your livelihoods. And you can trust us to provide you with services and support that are truly reflective of our values.

We’re here to support you.

We’re here to empower you.

We are Black Venom Digital.
