Hey everyone! 👋
I built Calibrate — a desktop app that helps you build a better sense of time instead of just tracking it.
The problem:
I constantly underestimated how long tasks would take. I'd plan an hour of work, spend two, and end the day feeling like I hadn't accomplished enough—even though I had made progress.
So I designed Calibrate to help users:
break work into small, manageable micro-tasks
stay focused during a session
compare estimated vs actual time
reflect on what went well (or didn't)
gradually improve their time estimation through a personal feedback loop
This was my first time using Wonder, and it became my brainstorming partner throughout the project. It helped me quickly explore ideas, build complete user flows, refine the UX, and design the entire product—from onboarding and focus sessions to reflections, insights, and analytics.

I built an operating system for my marriage.
MARRIAGE.OS is a fictional OS that treats a relationship the way software treats a system. It has a boot sequence, a live dashboard (trust level, comms uptime, a resentment queue, partner battery at 31%), a screen of the conditionals we actually run on (IF thermostat.touched_by(partner_a) THEN war()), an error log of every fight we've ever had (all resolved, eventually), and a shutdown screen that dims the lights and says goodnight.
The whole thing is a CRT terminal aesthetic: amber phosphor on near-black, scanlines, JetBrains Mono, a design system I kept consistent across all six screens.
How Wonder made it possible: I designed every screen with Wonder Chat, generating layouts from prompts and refining them on the canvas. The living glow behind the boot and shutdown screens is a Wonder shader, tuned by hand. Then I used Wonder's MCP to pull the design straight into code and ship it to a live URL. Canvas to code to deployed, no rebuild.

This is amazing
some late work i've been doing with felt👇
quick thought i can't shake: most ai interactions make you translate. you feel something, turn it into words, the ai answers in words, you turn that back into feeling. two translations for something that was never meant to be spoken in the first place.
so with felt i'm trying something different: an interface that just reads what you're feeling and talks back the same way, through touch. no typing, no talking, no middleman.
still early, still prototyping, having way too much fun building this one🤘
Nice work
🚀 Built AetherPeople — a modern HR & Employee Management platform designed to make People Operations feel calm, simple, and automated.
Instead of building another complex ERP, I focused on creating a clean, human-centered experience where HR teams can manage:
✨ Employee Dashboard
📅 Attendance & Leave Management
💰 Payroll Overview
✅ Approval Workflows
📊 Real-time HR Analytics
🔐 Enterprise-grade Security Experience
I designed and built the complete responsive UI using Wonder, exploring its AI-powered workflow to rapidly iterate, refine layouts, and turn ideas into production-quality interfaces much faster than my traditional design process.
The biggest takeaway? Wonder made it incredibly easy to move from concept → polished product while experimenting with layouts, components, and visual direction in minutes instead of hours.
🎥 In the walkthrough, I cover:
• My design process
• How I used Wonder throughout the project
• Key UI decisions
• The final interactive prototype
