💍 I built and launched a digital wedding invitation platform.
Meet ShareMyInvite — a cinematic way for couples to create and share their wedding invitations online.
I wanted to go beyond a simple digital invitation card.
So I built features like:
→ Animated invitation templates
→ Bride & groom profiles
→ Multiple wedding events
→ Live countdown
→ Google Maps directions
→ Calendar integration
→ Personalized WhatsApp greetings
→ Guest blessing wall
→ QR codes
→ YouTube, Zoom & Google Meet links
→ Photo galleries
→ Music & video support
→ Save the Date invitations
The idea was simple:
Your wedding invitation should feel like an experience, not just a card.
I handled the product from idea → UX → development → payments → deployment → launch.
ShareMyInvite is now live.
Another product shipped. 🚀

Marea — Private Yacht Charter
Booking a yacht sounds simple.
Until a guest wants a sunset dinner for six.
Now someone has to check availability, coordinate the yacht and chef, confirm the menu, collect dietary requirements, arrange the extras, and keep an eye on the weather.
For a small charter business, that can mean a lot of back-and-forth before a booking is actually confirmed.
So I built Marea around a simple idea:
The guest should choose the experience. Marea should handle the coordination.
Instead of starting with a long inquiry form, guests can build their trip visually, choosing the destination, date, yacht, experience, dining options, and preferences through one guided flow.
Behind the scenes, the concierge gets everything they need in one place: guest details, preferences, special requests, payment, and trip status.
And because sailing doesn't always go according to plan, Marea also brings weather and rescheduling into the booking experience.
One booking. Boat, chef, dinner, and everything in between.
This is stunning, sign me up, where do I book?! 😅
