About us
What is Second Spring?
Second Spring is a business-building platform for people starting over. Whether you're recovering from a layoff, shifting careers, or rethinking your next chapter, we help you turn uncertainty into momentum.
We focus on practical, emotionally honest tools for rebuilding. Our process blends clear structure with creative flexibility, inviting you to shape your own path with support, not noise.
This isn’t startup culture as usual. We believe in local economies, thoughtful design, and work that fits your life. We build systems that help people move from “what now?” to “what’s next?”
Second Spring exists to help you begin again, with purpose.

The team behind Second Spring
Christian Quiver
CEO & Cofounder at Second Spring Design
I'm a product leader and entrepreneur who blends large-scale product rigor with hands-on startup scrappiness, and I’m also a dad who wants to build things that make life better for real people.
For 15+ years I’ve launched products, led teams, and driven go-to-market strategies at Amazon and Google, while also building from scratch with lean startup teams.
I’m fascinated by how emerging technology can make everyday life simpler and more meaningful. With AI reshaping work so quickly, my focus is on making powerful tools accessible so everyone gets a fair shot at building a business that fits their real life.
That’s what Second Spring is all about: practical AI experiences that help people navigate change, build sustainable businesses, and get real work done - without the fluff.
Outside of work, you’ll find me with family, exploring the outdoors, singing, dancing, or doing yoga.
Eric Baxter
CDO & Cofounder at Second Spring Design
I'm a designer, builder, and father living in rural Washington. I've spent more than two decades designing digital products, platforms, and tools for companies ranging from small startups to some of the most recognizable names in tech.
After a layoff in 2023, I found myself rethinking everything. What started as a personal reset became the foundation for Second Spring.
My work now centers on helping others navigate change, create sustainable businesses, and design lives that are more aligned with who they are. I care deeply about clarity, craft, and making things that last.
Outside of design, you’ll find me with my family, carving wood, making things by hand, or walking the woods near our home.
Start again with clarity, confidence, and the right support.
Join thousands of people who are starting again. Not from scratch, but from clarity.
