What I built for the Flowstep Challenge
HoldIt is a trust layer for social commerce that helps buyers and sellers complete online transactions with confidence using escrow.
Instead of paying sellers directly, buyers secure their payment in HoldIt. The seller is notified that the funds are safely held, delivers the agreed item, and the buyer releases the payment only after confirming they've received it. HoldIt then transfers the funds directly to the seller's linked bank account after deducting the escrow fee.
Why I built it
I've experienced the uncertainty of buying from social media vendors, where every transaction comes down to one question: "Who sends first?" HoldIt was designed to remove that trust barrier and make peer-to-peer commerce safer without replacing the platforms where people already buy and sell.
It simply adds the missing layer of trust.

Title: Podium — a season library tool for orchestra librarians
Tagline: The internal tool orchestras don't have: tracking parts, bowings, and distribution for an entire season, in one place.
Description:
Every orchestra has a librarian quietly keeping the whole operation running — tracking which parts are rented vs. owned, whether the bowings are marked before rehearsal, and who currently has which stand's music sitting on their stand. Right now that job runs on spreadsheets, paper checklists, and institutional memory. I wanted to see what a purpose-built tool for that role could look like.
Podium is a 4-screen prototype covering the full workflow: a season library view showing every work in rotation with its parts-prep status at a glance, a score detail view breaking that down section by section, a prep checklist for marking up bowings stand by stand with a live progress counter, and a distribution screen for tracking which musician has which part and when it's due back.
I built it in Flowstep, aiming for something closer to a rare-book catalog than a typical SaaS dashboard — warm paper background, a single brass accent, serif for the repertoire, monospace for every number. It's a niche profession nobody else was likely to design for, which is exactly why I wanted to build it.
