Design isn’t done
until it ships.

Designer who engineers. I take products from concept to working code—full-stack, shipped, and built to hold up when real users show up.

Case studies with depth—design through implementation.

Mise Intelligent Chef

A cooking app that got smaller on purpose

I shipped a full-featured recipe app, used it on myself, and found out the one thing I actually did every time I cooked was open a separate ChatGPT conversation for substitutions and macros. Mise cut everything else and built that as Sous—a Claude-powered cooking companion grounded in the actual recipe.

Case study

The harder edit: deleting a working cook mode, a working swap sheet, and a working prep checklist because real usage data said they weren't earning their place. What survived—Sous—is playable by a stranger with no account, and it's the whole product now.

Broker Portal Redesign

Cyber insurance · dashboard, quoting, client profile

Real, shipped work at Cowbell—redesigning the broker dashboard, quoting flow, and client profile around a simple idea: show what needs a decision now, guide the rest step by step. Password-protected out of respect for my employer; ask me for access.

Case study

A flat client table and a one-page quote form became a triage view and a six-step guided flow—separating what actually needs a broker's attention from what's just available to browse. Gated behind a password since it's genuinely proprietary; the design decisions aren't.

Signal Work Management

Inbound triage · AI-assisted · workspace scoping

Work arrives in fragments. Signal makes the inbound stack legible—urgency-grouped, workspace-scoped, with a Claude-powered Triage Assist that reads each signal in full and returns a structured recommendation.

Case study

Designed for the person everything flows through. The feed sorts itself so critical work is always at the top. Triage Assist is advisory by design—Claude surfaces a recommendation, you decide. Because triage involves judgment AI doesn't have.

Wanderlist

Travel planning & discovery

Most travel apps show you what's popular. Wanderlist surfaces what's actually there—live place data, real photography, no manual curation. Search a city, build a trip, share a read-only link.

Case study

Full-stack travel planner on live data with auth, RLS, and real persistence. The Trip Quiz turns five questions about vibe and pace into a ranked itinerary shortlist—built for the gap between inspiration and a real plan.
