They came to me with nothing but a logo.
No content. No copy. No images. No brief. Just a logo, a business name, and 32 years of electrical expertise that nobody could find online.
Integrated Wiring Solutions is a family-owned commercial electrical contractor based in East Windsor, Connecticut. Jeff Kegel has been in the trade for over three decades — building a reputation entirely through word of mouth. But without a website, new clients had no way to find him.
That's where I came in.
Before touching a single page I sent a 21-question discovery questionnaire. That document gave me everything I needed — the brand direction, the audience, the messaging, and the tone. From there I refined the color palette, wrote every word of copy from scratch, and built a full 5-page premium website directly in Squarespace.
Halfway through the project the client shifted direction. They wanted the site to feel less like a project portfolio and more like a reliable service business. I pivoted the messaging, restructured the homepage, and updated every CTA — without redoing the design.
They loved it on the first draft.
4 weeks. 5 pages. A business that went from invisible to professional overnight.

I present Doodle Fonts, my entry for Config Makeathon.
Making a custom typeface can be very complex and time consuming. Nearly every designer who wants a weird little display font for one project ends up licensing something generic, begging a type designer for a favor, learning a new complex pipeline or quietly giving up. Custom type is gatekept — not by talent, but by tooling. The most personal element of a brand is the one most people aren't allowed to touch.
Doodle Fonts fixes that. It's a font foundry that fits inside a canvas. You draw each glyph — freehand pencil, shapes, a dot grid, whatever feels right — across a full 96-character set covering upper, lower, numbers and punctuation. The whole alphabet renders live as you go, every font is saved to a library with an "X / 96 drawn" progress count, and when you're done you export a real, working, installable OTF font file.
It's built with Figma Make so it runs where designers already live, with Supabase handling auth and storage so your fonts follow you across sessions.
Display and brand type doesn't need PhD-level kerning — it needs personality. Doodle Fonts collapses "learn pro software + lose a weekend" into "doodle for twenty minutes," turning type design from a specialist skill into something anyone on a team can do.

Everyone keeps telling designers to "just make a custom font." Now they actually can.
Can't wait to see how many fonts get created!
Wow I love this! I've always wanted to moonlight as a type designer...@Carlos Fernandez what's your fav typeface?
