Self-initiated work sample: a three-state small-business resource map.
I checked the official Washington, California, and Idaho SBDC pages and recorded one narrow service finding plus one limit for each network. The resulting table keeps source facts separate from appointment availability, eligibility, and vendor buying intent. These are public support resources, not prospective buyers; no organization was contacted.
Official sources: https://wsbdc.org/about-us/ · https://www.californiasbdc.org/what-to-expect/ · https://idahosbdc.org/
AI assisted drafting; I checked the stated facts against those pages on Oct 21, 2026. The method is also used in my bounded $25 research service: https://contra.com/s/QBg2evNW-public-source-prospect-research-pack

Figma Football
An unofficial football concept inspired by Figma and its visual language.
The ball was created using a custom 3D generator I built in ChatGPT, with animated interface icons and graphics developed with Claude.
Part design experiment, part exploration of how custom AI-powered tools can become part of the creative process.
The interface icons translate surprisingly well into a football identity.
This image showcases a premium fruit-flavoured date seed infusion stick packaging design for a fictional brand called DATEWISE. The design combines modern packaging graphics, realistic 3D tin-can mockups, vibrant fruit photography, and a soft pastel environment to create a high-end commercial product presentation.
The packaging features three flavours: Very Berry, Orange Burst, and Apple Royale. Each rectangular tin has rounded corners, a pastel-coloured background, bold black serif typography, fruit illustrations, and a dark burgundy information panel at the bottom.
The products are arranged on layered purple display platforms, surrounded by fresh fruits such as apples, oranges, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, kiwi, and dragon fruit. The pink-to-blue gradient background, soft lighting, subtle shadows, and glossy surfaces create a luxurious advertising aesthetic.
Design style: Premium FMCG Packaging, 3D Product Mockup, Photorealistic Product Advertising, Pastel Colour Grading, and Editorial Art Direction.
