Three stories from the side of the desk, a product I'm building from zero, a community we built in a crisis, and a small studio for the things I make just because they're beautiful.

Calendar intelligence,
for the family.

juggl.

The mental load of a household has a name now, it's the unpaid project management running quietly in the background of every working parent's life. juggl is what I built to finally hand some of it off.

juggl is an AI-powered family operating system. It reads the school emails, the practice schedule PDFs, the group texts and the photographed flyer on the kitchen counter, and it quietly turns all of it into a calendar that your whole household can trust.

I'm leading product end-to-end: strategy, design, AI experience, and the personality of Balou, the warm assistant at the heart of it. Our beta families consistently say the same thing, "I didn't realize how much I was holding in my head until something else was holding it."

The hard problem isn't extraction. The hard problem is trust. A family calendar only works if everyone in the family, including the skeptical teenager, believes it. So we obsess over the small moments: how a conflict surfaces, how a permission slip is summarized, how Balou says "I'm not sure" instead of guessing.

We're in private beta now. Every week feels like the most useful thing I've ever made.

"It's been genuinely fun to design
a system for my everyday life."

Recovering
Too.

Three Hoosier women, one anonymous podcast, and a quiet movement to make loving someone in addiction less lonely.

For a long time the rule was simple: you don't talk about it. Not the relapse, not the rehab, not the 2 a.m. phone call. Recovering Too began as the opposite of that rule, a podcast, then a community, then a small but loud invitation: you don't have to do this in silence.

It started during the pandemic, when the rooms went dark and families of people in active addiction had nowhere to land. Katie, Shannon and I started running virtual support groups on Zoom, partners, parents, sisters, anyone whose person was struggling.

In parallel we started Boy Problems, a podcast we recorded anonymously at first because we were terrified of what saying it out loud might cost us. We told the unglamorous version: the loving, the leaving, the staying, the boundaries, the relapses, the recovery, the grief that doesn't end when the using does.

In October 2021 we went public. Current in Fishers ran us on the cover. We weren't anonymous anymore, and that, it turned out, was the whole point. People started writing in to say "me too." Then "thank you." Then, sometimes, "I'm getting help."

Recovering Too isn't active anymore in its original form, but the thesis still sits at the center of how I work: shame loses its power the moment you say the thing out loud, with someone who gets it standing next to you.

"We told the part
nobody talks about."

IDEA TO IMPACT
A collaborative process.
01, Personalized & Thoughtful Design

We start with a discovery session, your story, your goals, your business. From there I create a website or technical solution that truly reflects who you are and what you offer. Every choice is made with your brand, customers, and workflow in mind: simple, but effective.

02, Collaborative & Iterative Process

Your time is valuable. As a certified project manager (PMP, CSM), I bring a structured but flexible approach, clear communication, smooth decisions, two revision rounds. We refine together until the work is clean, functional, and on time.

03, Simple & Sustainable Solutions

The goal isn't just to build you a new product, it's to hand off something easy to use and maintain. Systems that streamline your process, reduce technical headaches, and support your business as it grows.
