I'm Owen Nurminen, a full time creator, influencer, and recently founder.

In 2019, I played Fortnite professionaly while finishing college. After graduating college and picking up a sales job, I began posting on TikTok in 2022.

In 2023, I landed my first creator deal worth $3,750 with WHOOP, creating ads for the tech company.

In 2024, I launched my own UGC Agency, Content Circle, that has grown to over 400 UGC Creators, generating millions per month in revenue and millions of downloads.

In 2025, I began launching apps, partnering first on a brain app called Neuro with Blake Anderson, I learned the ropes behind building a consumer app.

I launched my first app, Covenant, with my cofounder Andrew Schmitz, which ended up flopping, and I sold my stake in the company to my cofounder.

In October of 2025, I launched Artec with my cofounders CJ Weber & Adam Aboelmatty, aligning both my UGC experience and my content creator journey to make content easier for new creators.

Artec Studio, Inc. has grown to 10,000 users, bootstrapped, by the end of 2025.
