What do you do with a pineapple that has two days left to live?
You save it. And you make something this good in the process.
This Pineapple Pepper Salad was born from a refrigerator rescue mission — bell peppers, a pineapple on borrowed time, and the kind of cooking that happens when you refuse to waste good food. No oil. No dressing. Just lime juice meeting pineapple juice meeting fresh cilantro and a jalapeño that showed up because it brings personality.
The result is bright, fresh, a little spicy, and done in five minutes flat.
This is the kind of recipe I develop — real food, real stories, zero pretense. Diabetes-friendly without announcing itself. Plant-forward without being precious about it.
If you need recipes that taste like they came from someone's actual kitchen — because they did — let's talk.
📩 Available for recipe development and food writing projects.

I built an anonymous corner for the internet. It's called the Fruit Market. 🍊🍓
Every visitor leaves behind a unique fruit that represents them.
You choose a fruit, give it a label, add a few pieces of identity, and answer a prompt about something you're carrying, longing for, or wishing someone understood.
Then you place it on the shelf.
The result is a market full of anonymous human artifacts:
A mango who is missing home.
A peach who is terrified of graduating.
A dragon fruit who is searching for purpose.
The idea came from a question:
How deeply can we understand each other when names are removed?
Built with Figma and Figma Make on my humble phone and tablet. My goal was to create a whimsical, imperfect, yet vulnerable space that feels somewhere between a community bulletin board, a missed-connections page, and a message in a bottle.
Please, if you’re willing, leave a piece of yourself at the Fruit Market. <3

Most journaling tools flatten memory into text boxes. Threadline turns memory into something you can see and touch. You enter a few real moments from your life, choose a thread color for each, and weave them into a canvas. The heavy ones show up as knots.
You can open a knot, sit with what it carried, and reframe it in your own words. Not to erase it.. just to hold it differently. When the thread softens, the memory stays. It just doesn't pull the same way. At the end you're left with a woven cloth made from your own story.
I built this for people who carry things they don't always know how to say out loud. Grief, change, loss, starting over.. those don't fit neatly into a journal entry. Sometimes it's tangled. Sometimes you don't know where to start. Threadline gives that a form: memories become threads, weight becomes tension, unresolved moments become knots, and reframed meaning becomes a gold stitch.
The flow: add your moments → choose thread colors → generate your Threadline → open a knot → reframe it → keep or share the cloth.
It's quiet on purpose. No streaks, no metrics, no gamification. Just a place to put what you've been carrying.
And honestly, if you're carrying something right now: you don't have to carry it perfectly. That's the whole point of this thing.
I designed and developed a modern Kajabi website for a business consulting and masterclass brand focused on strategy, systems, and business growth.
This is a great reminder that design isn't just about functionality—it's also about creating a feeling.
