Aloud started as an experiment in generative pattern design and grew into a fully automated product business. I developed a repeatable art technique, built a Figma-to-Airtable pipeline that turned designs into live Shopify products in minutes, and scaled it through print-on-demand pocket tees. I later integrated NFTs on the Terra blockchain so digital ownership earned real royalties on physical sales, rebuilding the platform in React and working directly with smart-contract engineers. Over three years, I shipped daily designs, automated the entire design-to-commerce workflow, and ran the product end-to-end solo—from art and branding to Web3 architecture and fulfillment.
