When I’m not working on client projects, I’m building my own indie mobile app.

One thing AI has changed for me is this: it’s made product building far more accessible for designers. Not just designing the experience, but actually bringing it to life.

I’ve been working on this app for a while, and it’s starting to come together in a way that feels promising. The first round of testing has been positive, and next I want to get it in front of people outside my own circle.

It’s still early, but I’m excited about where it’s heading.

Design.ID - a creative ID card generator for designers.

For the Omma Buildathon I built an interactive experience for designers.

My focus was elevating user experience using only Omma. After 90+ versions, Design.ID came to life.

Designers choose their character, input their info and get a personalised ID card. The final screen showcases a 3D card that tilts on hover with metallic reflections that follow along. A subtle detail: your character appears ghosted inside the metallic badge.

Try it: https://omma.build/p/designid-centered-welcome-page-sowjxh

From the particle logo on the first screen to the ID movements on the last, every interaction is intentional.

Fully responsive on desktop and mobile.

Real Estate Agent Site - Built for a local Realtor in Hampton Roads, VA

I built this one in Framer from the ground up. The hero has subtle mouse-tracking on the clouds — move your cursor and they follow, slow and atmospheric. From there, soft animations carry you through the rest of the site. Nothing overdone, just enough motion to make it feel alive.

The build includes a homepage with stats and social proof, an active listings section, services breakdown, testimonials, and a contact flow — all fully responsive, all native Framer.
