My name is Do Tromp, founder of Davis Coworking, and creator of the iOS app Start a Business. With a PhD in Neuroscience, I specialize in bridging technology, research, and entrepreneurship.

I’m currently available for contracting work.

I live in Davis, CA, where I enjoy the balance of work and personal time through woodworking, gardening, and biking. These hobbies allow me to embrace creativity and nature, inspiring my work life.

After graduating with a major in Science and Innovation Management & Psychology, I delved into the world of neuroscience, earning a PhD and exploring mental health through innovative technologies. Over time, I also became fascinated with the application of technology in business and entrepreneurship, leading me to create Davis Coworking, Start a Business app, and now I am using AI to create customer growth.

Davis Coworking is a collaborative workspace in Davis, CA, fostering creativity and community among over 400 individuals and businesses. A hub for innovation, the space emphasizes environmentally conscious practices and serves as a platform for growth and connection.

I created the 'Start a Business' iOS app to support aspiring small business owners. With resources for planning, legal decisions, and marketing, the app has guided over 5000 users in taking the first steps toward bringing their business ideas to life.

I developed diffusion-imaging.com, a resource that demystifies diffusion imaging through clear explanations, tutorials, and code. With over 32 articles and a forum for discussions, my expertise in neuroscience has reached 750k views, fostering global education and collaboration.

I started Design by Do, focusing on interior and exterior designs that blend timeless wood, greenery, and cozy accents. Emphasizing warmth, collaboration, and affordability, my creations turn ordinary spaces into inspiring environments.

I've spent over 14 years working with complex datasets in the field of neuroscience. Through this journey, I've co-authored 33 peer-reviewed publications, gaining 2524 citations, and contributing to a better understanding of potential treatments for mental health disorders.

Today, I'm proud to be a growth marketing consultant for Figma Inc, focusing on content development around productivity methodologies.

Beyond my consultancy work, I'm actively involved in fostering local entrepreneurship, creating events through Davis Coworking and Start a Business that empower business owners in our community.

Plus, I am in the process of shaping innovative community spaces that serve as a vibrant nexus for local food artisans, small businesses, artists, and non-profits. By weaving together these diverse elements, I aim to foster a thriving, interconnected community where creativity flourishes and social impact is amplified.
