Veza Digital Acquires Belt Creative: An Update on What Happened and Where Everyone Landed

In October 2025, Belt Creative became part of Veza Digital through an official acquisition. Since then, I’ve heard from a lot of people asking the same questions: What changed? Where did everyone go? This post is meant to give a clear, honest update and help fill in the gaps.

‍

Context Around the Transition

Former Belt Creative team members were informed of the transition shortly before the acquisition was finalized. Because of the limited notice and the speed of the change, there wasn’t much opportunity for a structured handoff or advance client communication. That abrupt timing understandably led to confusion for some clients and partners.

‍

I’m sharing this simply to provide context, not to point fingers.

‍

Where Everyone Is Now

No former Belt Creative team members transitioned into Veza Digital. Instead, everyone continued working independently. Here’s where things landed:

Danni Goodman

Danni continues to work independently, focusing on thoughtful visual design and custom website builds for freelance clients. Her work centers on clean design systems, strong brand foundations, and collaborative partnerships where strategy and execution go hand in hand. She remains open to new projects and creative collaborations.

Christian Bigham

While he was at Belt Creative, Christian was also taking on a few freelance projects alongside his day job. After the acquisition, he used that moment to branch out on his own and start working with some great names in the Webflow space. These days, he collaborates with Benten Woodring at NOOON Studio, Hunter Thompson at Kinetic Studio, and the team at Gigantic. He also takes on individual projects and still enjoys collaborating with former Belt Creative teammates when the opportunity comes up. Christian is currently available for new design and development projects.

Nick Spera

Nick S. sadly passed away. I want to extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of working with him. Nick was a genuinely kind person and a valued part of the community, and he will be deeply missed.

Allyse Murray

Over the past few months, Allyse has been in a season of creative exploration, working on home organization and interior design projects through Allyse Kristine Designs, freelancing as a luxury event assistant, and consulting with a handful of growing businesses. Alongside this work, she’s been thoughtfully considering the next chapter of her corporate career and looks forward to beginning her formal job search in the new year. She welcomes connections on LinkedIn to stay in touch as the next chapter unfolds.

Markese Straughter (ME)

Before and throughout my time working alongside Belt Creative, my primary focus has been the SEO-led web development studio I’ve operated in Las Vegas for years. I continue to help local service businesses grow visibility and demand, while partnering with agencies through white-label services, web development strategy, and internal SEO team support.

A Note of Apology and Understanding

I want to acknowledge that this transition may have caused confusion or inconvenience, and I’m genuinely sorry for any headaches it created. I know how disruptive sudden changes like this can feel, especially when communication is limited.

‍

Staying Connected

Even though Belt Creative is no longer operating as it once did, the people you worked with are still here, just working independently now. If you were a former client or simply want to reconnect, you’re welcome to reach out directly. The relationships and experience are still there, just structured differently.
