Can you scale your creative career to infinity? 🚀
I built ContraClicker for the #youwarechallenge! Doesn't it look familiar?
Contra Clicker is a "career simulator" where you earn Creative Capital to hire experts (like Framer, Anything, Buildship), earn badges, and automate your growth.
Those familiar with the idle / incremental game Cookie Clicker will be excited to see several similar mechanics!
Post, earn, and reinvest to scale your creative empire. The game includes skill upgrades, "Taste Tests," and client jobs and messages and prestige tiers.
Most importantly, we have leaderboard and cloud save functionality thanks to YouBase!
Try ContraClicker out and see how high you can push your Discovery Score! 👇

Ever worried about whether you'll be scammed on your next trip? My @Bubble challenge submission, TripWise, might help!
TripWise is a dedicated platform for helping people share and identify common scams that you might see going to a destination. You can plan your trip and see what other people are saying, including where user reports may be false differ from official notices.
The goal is, of course, safe travel! Misinformation about locations can equally harm, so being able to moderate potentially problematic brigading and such is important as well.
Inspired by this post on Oasis of Ideas (https://www.oasis-of-ideas.com/ideas/online-platform-that-warns-you-about-common-scams-in-your-travel-destination). You can test out TripWise at the link below!

Submitting my love for cheese in @Insert frame / Frameship form: Quesos®
(https://amicable-community-007441.framer.app/)The goal was to create a sort of earthy, warm, inviting and relatively simple template that made you feel like you were right in a local store. Great for showcasing food products like these certified organic Nano Banana cheeses!
Really glad I got a chance to build with Frameship and submit with some time to spare. Honestly? I am excited for future projects with this plugin! Frameship made it super easy to get everything connected to Shopify.
Let me know your thoughts!

Who else spends their free time stitching? 🙋🧵🪡
More people are spending time with tactile hobbies like cross-stitch, knitting, and crochet since the pandemic. I believe ~45% of needleworkers are also now under the age of 35!
My submission for the #retoolchallenge, Needleminder, is built to help those creatives in these hobbies organize their needlework projects, inventory, and patterns they might have. The goal is to never let project materials and amazing patterns go to waste.
A really fun way to explore how Retool handles a unique and functional use case. Thanks to @Retool and @Contra HQ for putting this challenge on.
Excited to hear people's thoughts on the project!

Ever get a receipt from a non-profit? Usually those are given when you donate clothes. For many other 501(c)(3)s, these types of in-kind donations can be a hassle to manage administratively (as I'm well aware!).
My Tempo Labs submission allows a nonprofit to have a portal for users to self serve with a password, and generate in-kind donation acknowledgements that the nonprofit has track of afterwards. A nonprofit leader can then manage those donations and customize to make the site feel like their own.
Receipt generated by Nano Banana Pro.

💥 THE BOOTH: A marketplace connecting vendors to events with transparency and trust.
In my experience, I've noticed a real need in creative communities to easily find and apply for in-person markets. Additionally, I wanted to create a space to share experiences, helping great venues continue to support artists and dissuading abusive coordinators from taking advantage of vendors.
Built for the @Anything app challenge on @Contra HQ . See it in action, and let me know what you think!!

In the weeds exploring branding and web design for rmaiig.org (https://rmaiig.org), and thought experimenting with Ideogram might be helpful. Lots of interesting ideas. The original logo/"robot" is included for reference.

Last Thursday, I gave a talk at NerdNite Fort Collins (https://fortcollins.nerdnite.com/2025/10/26/november-20-the-state-of-the-art-in-fashion-and-technology/) on how much people are tired of the internet, and what kind of independent spaces are cropping up as a result. Honestly, I would put Contra on that list! Spoiler alert: a decent chunk of the conversation was on artificial intelligence.
You can catch up with my nerdy ramblings on Gamma. (https://gamma.app/docs/Im-Tired-Grandpa-The-Rise-of-the-Indie-Web-Resistance-qj1h80yhxwhliqg) They're working on uploading both my and my partner's talks on YouTube as well.

First iteration of a website I'm working on for rmaiig.org (https://rmaiig.org). I think a subtle yet fun animation in Unicorn Studio really helps drive home that "spark."

If you're a developer like me, making project or service card images for Contra can be challenging to get looking right.
That's why I built this Contra Card Creator for the Builder Challenge! Used some of the template cards provided by Contra to make some high fidelity mockups that are easily exported in 4:3 ratio.
Let me know what you think and share any cards you make with the tool if you do.
Try out the card creator live!!

To demo some of the tools from my talk at Google Developer Groups DevFest at CSU (https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-northern-colorado-androidchrome-presents-noco-devfest-2025-csu/), I built this showcase of how the Perspective API (https://developers.perspectiveapi.com/s/about-the-api?language=en_US) assesses toxic messages from Gemini via Lovable.
The goal of this was to showcase how sentiment analysis can fit into using AI responsibly in your applications. How did I do?

Had a phenomenal time presenting at the Google Developer Group NoCo Dev Fest 2025 (https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-northern-colorado-androidchrome-presents-noco-devfest-2025-csu/) at CSU. I gave a talk on responsible AI usage and example tools from Google's Responsible AI Toolkit.
Most importantly, I got a tamagotchi as a raffle prize??? Best conference ever!

Your words carry vision in them!
For the Anything hackathon, I thought to create an application that takes your text and/or prompt, and visualizes what picture the words create as if it was synesthesia. It also saturates the image based on how 'unique' the prompt is.
Although I got this amazing video of the application in practice, I ran into some issues scaling the idea for more people than just myself. here's the link to try it (https://text-to-visual-image-creato-253.created.app/) in case it actually works for you!

My agency Red Mage is sponsoring a project with Northern Arizona University (my alma mater)'s Computer Science capstone to build ArtGuard, a platform dedicated to helping artists protect their work from unauthorized use in AI training.
It's impressive how excited and diligent the students have been in technical feasibility and requirements gathering, so I've been helping on initial design and core ideas with MagicPath.

In prep for my talk today for the IEEE on Engineering in the Age of AI, I thought I'd share my thoughts on "human agency" through Gamma. A lot to condense into 5 - 7 minutes haha
I'm finding my slides doubling as take-home docs helps a lot with these talks! You can take a look at the slides here (https://gamma.app/embed/We-Need-Humans-to-be-Agentic-not-the-AI-e2tn1ljr3nnc087?mode=doc).
Arts & Tech Activation: What's the future of the creative? How do we ensure people are meaningfully involved and supported in navigating this new environment we're in?
Really glad I had the opportunity to share my perspectives this past week at Cohere 2025 (https://luma.com/rnuejxkx)'s session! We discussed ownership, accessibility, and equity at the intersection of arts and tech, and it reinforced that simply being invited to the table is just the opening act.

A trip to New Mexico later...Introducing my hackathon entry for the MagicPath Challenge: ExpoNexus!
How many times do you run into issues keeping a conference (or multiple) all in check? ExpoNexus is designed to streamline everything for conference creators and attendees to focus on real connections and the content they're paying for.
Features include session management, vendor pages and deals, attendees and chatting, as well as conference management / moderation tools. The project includes 20+ components and pages to pass along and start development with clear vision and guidelines, including a design system overview page.
Check out the full design system and sample pages on MagicPath (https://www.magicpath.ai/projects/328264266639609856?token=4ee98bf355fc02830add7d5975a80cd3902c063a7319d54e931498f38a130f2b)!
A bit sped up, but making steady progress on one of my biggest projects yet. Honing in colors and applying basic animations where relevant. Hoping to share a case study on it soon!
