Helping Businesses Grow Through Smarter Software

Pepper Punch is the software development arm of Torch Designs,
a full-service digital agency headquartered in Lakeland, Florida. While Torch Designs focuses on branding, web, and marketing solutions, Pepper Punch was launched to extend that mission deeper — by building custom software and powerful integrations that drive real business growth.
 
At its core, Pepper Punch exists to help small and mid-sized businesses grow through greater efficiency, automation, and better-connected systems.

Leadership with Real-World Experience

At the helm of Pepper Punch is Kevin Farnsworth, a veteran Solutions Architect with more than 25 years of experience in software development.
 
Before co-founding Torch Designs, Kevin served as the Manager of Solutions Architecture for the Orange County Clerk of Courts in Orlando, Florida. In that role, he led major modernization projects that consolidated the court's fragmented technology landscape — including AIX, HPUX, Windows, Mac, Solaris, Informix, Oracle, and MSSQL — into a single Case Management System (CMS) based entirely on Windows and SQL Server.
 
Kevin also led:
The digital redaction of over 50 million court documents
Integration with the Florida statewide e-portal for electronic attorney filings
A secure online portal allowing public access to documents
Development of a robust framework for third-party system integration
With a software career that began in 1997, Kevin brings a rare blend of legacy system knowledge and modern architecture expertise to every project.
