MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
"Mayday" was a special project for me and should hit home with every visitor. Artist Susan Silton approached me in the Spring of 2020 to build her vision— one that could be easily edited and a site where visitors could quickly add a memorial for those who were lost to COVID-19. I built the dual-language project on Squarespace and ported the form to GoogleDocs through a Zapier connection. It's a project that will grow over time and should remain in place for ages.
In December of 2020, I added an entry for my own Mother-in-law. It was a sorrowful experience, while at the same time, it was a good feeling to memorialize her in this way.

for real, I just unlocked dark mode on my Contra account by running a little workaround with Perplexity...
my night-owl eyes are very, very happy right now 🦉
since a big part of my creative work happens late at night, this feels so much better for my focus and sanity, lol
ok, @Contra HQ team, you can officially remove my dark mode feature request now...we’re all good here :)
Dark mode should honestly be a default for creator-heavy platforms. Curious what the Perplexity workaround was — CSS override or something account-level?
Imagine treating scroll like an instrument, not a wheel.
For #FigmaMakeathon I built ScrollFolio in #FigmaMake. A scroll focus portfolio where scrolling and mousing becomes navigation, pacing, and focus, with “sticky” moments that lock in and release cleanly. Also works with simple keys (← → ↑ ↓ and Spacebar) to open/close items.
I leaned into what Make is good at: fast iteration on interaction timing, responsiveness, and polish. The goal wasn’t a static layout, it was a working fast interaction that feels physical across devices in a single view.
Published project on Desktop and Mobile (has it's own swipe integrations): https://scrollfolio.figma.site
Today I build Sound Flower 💐
A dreamy way to compose music through the art of floristry.
Every flower you pick is a unique instrument. Simply choose your favorite flowers, place them on the canvas, and play to listen to the one-of-a-kind melody you’ve created 🎶✨
Built for the #FigmaMakeathon with Figma Make
Try it now: https://soundflower.figma.site
This is such a beautiful concept blending music creation with floristry feels poetic and immersive. Love how creativity and interaction come together here
