About MakeItHappen.NYC

MakeItHappen.NYC is a New York-based boutique development agency founded in 2016 by Caroline Petersen Rodriguez and Srijani Kirti. The firm builds custom web applications, member portals, and mobile apps for national guilds, city programs, financial institutions, and associations. Their work centers on legacy system modernization, database-driven portals, and ongoing technical support for mission-aligned clients.

Who MakeItHappen.NYC Is Best For

MakeItHappen.NYC is well-suited for mission-driven organizations that need purpose-built web portals or member management systems and want a small, attentive agency rather than a large generalist firm. City programs, professional guilds, and associations with specific workflow requirements are their core client base. Less suitable for commercial product companies or clients needing large engineering teams.
