Luna Botanicals — Phase 1: Order Engine
Luna Botanicals is a portfolio project — a fictional indie cosmetics startup, built to show how an operations system evolves as a team scales.
This is Phase 1: the starting build for a solo founder. Four core tables — Customers, Products, Orders, Order Line Items.
Stock deducts automatically once an order is actually paid, so nothing oversells. A simple intake form, a fulfillment Kanban, and basic sales analytics round it out.
No automations yet. At this stage, the priority is just getting the chaos under control.

(Still learning video editing, so bear with the rough edges — will get smoother with practice.)

I’ve been razzmatazzing and flibbertigibbeting with Claude Code and somehow ended up with a new yels.dev.
It finally feels like me: simple on the surface, slightly complicated underneath, and very much alive.
You can see who I am, what I do, the work behind Herodot, RaptorLabs, CyberLink Security and Solmint, plus a selection of projects I’ve built across AI, cybersecurity, Web3, product systems, education, archives, and experimental digital spaces.
Built to be explored
The simple-on-the-surface, layered-underneath idea comes through so clearly in the presentation. I especially like how the project archive turns the site into something to explore rather than just a résumé of links.
I never believed in staying in one design lane.
Over the last few years, I moved across the full spectrum:
• Branding taught me systems how a mark survives across every medium.
• Packaging taught me physical detail real print constraints, paper stock, and dieline tolerance.
• UI/UX taught me structure frictionless navigation and user behavior.
• Web design taught me how to connect the entire journey from shelf to screen.
Instead of keeping these disciplines in silos, I brought them together into a unified personal archive.
A few years of learning, building, and refining now in one place:

I love how you connect branding to packaging and UX—the idea that a mark has to survive every medium is so true. The case-study grid makes that range feel tangible without losing the thread.
Polishing this website right now, I will make this live today, SaaS website for Startups. Shower your love and feedback. 😁😊
The purple frame gives the SaaS dashboard a confident launch moment, and the split between headline and product UI reads clearly. I’d love to see the button hover states carry a touch of that same contrast.
