Blake began working in digital design in the late 1990s.
In a market where web development offered little commercial viability, he applied his technical skills to vehicle graphics and signage, learning vector production, fabrication workflows, and cutter machinery operation. The work was hands-on and output-driven.
That foundation shaped his approach. Design was never abstract. It had to translate into production, use cases, and commercial constraints.

As digital markets matured, Blake rebuilt his practice online, expanding into illustration, educational publishing, and web assets. Through output and competitive wins, his work began intersecting with technical communities.
An early project for a well-known offensive security firm marked the beginning of a long fascination with cybersecurity. He worked with research-driven teams, infrastructure-focused organisations, and specialised technology companies.

Larger and more serious organisations began seeking him out and outcomes required newer dimensions.
The work was no longer isolated to a single project or campaign. It began to influence how companies were perceived during funding rounds, product launches, and acquisitions. Margins for error narrowed.
Decisions carried weight beyond pure aesthetics. Blake moved from delivering visuals to taking ownership of how companies presented themselves at moments that defined their future.

Blake co-founded Stealth Industries Inc. and launched StealthWorks in 2026.
The focus is to serve teams operating in cybersecurity, advanced software, and defence-aligned markets with discipline and long-term support.
The ambition is to build an advanced design and engineering capability able to support serious technical interests across Canada, USA, and allied ecosystems.
