Cover image for DIEM was a multi-year health
DIEM was a multi-year health and wellness technology project I developed from concept through a working mobile platform. The goal was to combine nutrition, fitness, lifestyle and community into a personalized daily experience built around each user’s goals, activity level, health considerations and preferences. My role went far beyond the app screens. I was involved in product strategy, business model development, UX and feature planning, professional health-content development, personalization logic, reporting, database structure, developer coordination, testing and marketing. DIEM included personalized daily to-dos, nutrition and exercise tracking, health profiles, goals, reports and tools designed to make complex wellness information practical and usable. This project represents the way I approach technology today: start with the real user and business need, define how the experience should work, then build the technology around it.

Cover image for DIEM — Health & Wellness
DIEM — Health & Wellness App Product Development I founded and led the development of DIEM, a multi-year health and wellness platform designed to bring nutrition, fitness, lifestyle guidance and personalized wellness information together in one experience. The idea was to go beyond a basic calorie tracker or workout app. DIEM was designed to understand the individual user—their goals, activity level, nutrition, health conditions, allergies and other profile information—and use that data to provide more relevant daily guidance. My role covered virtually every part of the product and business development process. I worked closely with professional software developers to define features, workflows, functionality, user experience, testing requirements and ongoing improvements. The developers handled the programming, while I directed what the platform needed to do and how the overall system should work. I also hired and worked with licensed dietitians, physicians and other health professionals to develop the wellness information behind the platform. That content was incorporated into formulas, rules and logic designed to provide personalized recommendations to users. DIEM included features such as personalized daily regimen items, nutrition tracking, exercise tracking, health conditions, allergies, goals, reports and wellness recommendations. Users could select goals such as losing weight, getting fit, improving overall health, toning, gaining weight or maintaining their current condition. The platform was also designed with a professional side in mind, allowing trainers, coaches and health professionals to eventually review user information, provide guidance and work more closely with their clients. Beyond the product itself, I was involved in branding, competitive research, UX direction, content development, marketing, social media, business strategy and commercialization. The larger business model included consumer subscriptions, professional accounts, corporate wellness programs and potential white-label licensing. DIEM was a substantial multi-year product-development project that brought together technology, professional wellness content, user experience and business strategy. It demonstrates my ability to take a complex idea, define how it should work, coordinate the right specialists, and develop it into a structured product with a clear path toward commercialization.

Cover image for StreamStash: Streamline Finances for Digital Creators
StreamStash is a fintech platform built for digital creators — musicians, streamers, vloggers, influencers, and online entrepreneurs — to organize, track, and access their earnings across multiple platforms in one place. The idea behind StreamStash is simple: Creators today make money from many different sources: Streaming revenue Brand deals YouTube monetization TikTok payouts Affiliate income Merchandise sales Donations and subscriptions Sponsorships But all of those payments arrive at different times, on different platforms, with different payout rules. StreamStash acts like a financial command center for creators. What It Does Unified Creator Dashboard Creators can connect multiple income platforms and view: Total earnings Pending payouts Monthly revenue trends Platform performance Estimated future income Faster Access to Earnings One of the platform’s goals is reducing the long wait creators face before getting paid. StreamStash is designed to support: Instant payouts Early payout access Revenue advances Flexible withdrawal systems Especially for independent creators who rely on consistent cash flow. AI Financial Assistant A future-facing part of StreamStash is AI-powered creator finance support. The AI layer could: Forecast upcoming income Analyze spending patterns Suggest budgeting strategies Predict slow revenue periods Recommend growth opportunities Help creators understand taxes and business finances Not replacing accountants — more like giving creators a smart financial operations assistant. Why It Matters Most creator tools focus on content creation. StreamStash focuses on the business side of being a creator. That matters because a lot of talented creators: don’t understand cash flow, get paid inconsistently, struggle with taxes, or can’t scale because their finances are fragmented. StreamStash aims to make creators feel less like freelancers surviving month-to-month and more like actual digital businesses. Positioning The platform sits somewhere between: creator economy tools, digital banking, creator analytics, and fintech infrastructure. Think: “Plaid + Stripe + creator analytics + AI finance copilot for creators.” And frankly, the creator economy still has a giant hole here. Everybody wants creators to make content. Very few companies are helping creators build financial stability.

Cover image for For Kendall Tenor’s latest release,
For Kendall Tenor’s latest release, I handled motion graphics across the rollout, including the YouTube intro, visualizers, and supporting graphics for the music videos. I love building visual worlds that feel beautiful, emotional, and a little experimental. If you are an artist or a brand with a project coming up and you want visuals that actually connect, I would love to collaborate.
