A few days ago, I shared some of my mobile design work with you all here ā and I'm excited to say that design has turned into a real app: the first version of Glean is now live on the App Store! š
Glean turns your iPhone into a private document scanner: capture anything, get a crisp, searchable PDF, and keep it exactly where you want it.
What sets it apart is privacy by design. Scanning and text recognition happen entirely on your device ā no servers ever see your documents, no analytics, no tracking. Your scans stay on your iPhone, and sync to your own Google Drive only if you choose.
āØ Highlights
Automatic edge detection + one-tap clean-up (removes shadows & glare, sharpens text)
On-device OCR ā fully searchable PDFs, even offline
Sign in with Apple or Google
Optional Google Drive, organized into a folder you control
I designed and built Glean end to end ā product, UI/UX, and engineering ā under my studio, TechFoundry. Built with React Native (Expo) and native iOS scanning + on-device text recognition.

š The Final Reveal ā Utopia Dental is LIVE! āØ
After days of building, refining, and polishing, my final submission for the Give It a Glow Challenge is complete.
I set out to turn a traditional local dental clinic into a premium, AI-powered digital experience. The result? A complete "Dental Operating System" that feels effortless.
Here is what I built:
ā
Premium Aesthetic: Clean, minimalist UI with a calming Apple-like vibe.
ā
AI Superagent: 24/7 intelligent triage and automated instant booking.
ā
Zero Friction: A seamless Patient Portal connected directly to a custom Admin CRM.
ā
Built entirely and seamlessly on Base44.
Iāve also included a two-part video series in my submission:
š¬ Part 1: The Vision (Cinematic Showcase)
š¬ Part 2: The Process (Behind the scenes of building with Base44)
š Experience the Live Demo here:

Thank you to everyone who supported, voted, and followed the journey since Day 1! š Let's go!

Social media was great for discovery.
It just wasn't built to run a studio.
When @Base44 Ć @Contra launched the Give It A Glow Challenge, I built Riley Taylor Studio OS to solve that problem.
The website is more than a portfolio. It becomes the studio's digital front desk.
Clients can discover the artists, submit structured consultations, upload references, track their requests, receive automated confirmations and reminders, access aftercare, and get instant help from the AI Studio Concierge.
For the artists, every consultation arrives organized in one place. AI summarizes requests, automations handle repetitive tasks, and the entire booking workflow becomes faster and easier to manage.
The goal was never to replace the artistsāit was to give them more time to create.
The walkthrough video documents the complete transformation, showing the before, the after, and the automations that turn scattered social media conversations into one connected client journey.
Calling it a 'Studio OS' instead of just a portfolio is a smart repositioning, feels like it solves a real problem for tattoo studios specifically. What was missing from the typical booking/portfolio tools that pushed you to build this instead?
