Brand Worlds & Digital Storefronts for Founders
Cover image for Every brand resource tells you
Every brand resource tells you something different. Start with positioning. No — start with audience. No — here's a 40-page template, good luck. I was building my own brand — a handcrafted botanical incense line called Sensori Awakened — and I kept hitting the same wall. The vision was clear. The feeling was precise. I knew exactly what the brand should be before I could explain what it was. The tools I found were built for one side of that problem or the other. The creative tools asked me to feel. The operational tools asked me to execute. Nothing helped me translate between the two. That gap is where most founders lose the thread. I built Theseus because I needed it myself. It is an interactive brand-building tool built in Figma Make. One question at a time. Four stages. Each one deeper than the last. The Horn pulls your founding premise out of the abstract and names it. The Maze maps the sensory and visual world your brand actually inhabits. The Heart confronts what you are selling, to whom, at what price — and writes your positioning statement back to you in a single sentence. The Sword turns everything into an operational playbook for a one-person founder. The system listens. It adapts. It quotes your own words back to you as the questions get sharper. By the end, every decision traces back to the first thing you said was true about your brand. That connective logic is The Thread — borrowed from the myth of Theseus navigating the labyrinth. The founder is Theseus. The complexity of building alone is the labyrinth. The methodology is what gets you out.: That is what the thread does when it holds. You leave with four generated documents and a markdown file ready to build on. 12 to 20 minutes. No account. No onboarding. Just clarity on the other side.

Fractional support & ops for solo SaaS founders
Cover image for 1. Fixed a Payment Bypass
1. Fixed a Payment Bypass Vulnerability in a Live SaaS Caught a critical flaw in my own subscription app where user accounts were being created in the database before Stripe payment actually confirmed, meaning someone could get full access without ever paying. Rebuilt the signup flow so intake data is held temporarily and the real account is only created once the Stripe webhook confirms payment. Shipped without any downtime or disruption to existing customers. 2. Rebuilt a Customer Admin Panel for a Solo-Founder SaaS Designed and shipped a full admin dashboard for a subscription app: customer health scores, churn-risk flags, plan status, login activity, and profile completeness, all in one view. Replaced a scattered set of manual checks with a single system that surfaces which customers need attention before they churn or file a complaint. 3. Client Relations & Account Management, International Accounts Managed international client accounts in a corporate account management role, handling day-to-day relationship management, issue resolution, and cross-team coordination. Background spans customer service leadership in e-commerce as well, giving me both the corporate-process side and the scrappy solo-founder side of support. 4. Built a Grace-Period System for Failed Subscription Payments Designed and implemented an automated grace-period flow for customers whose payments fail: toast notifications, clear in-app messaging, and a defined window before access is restricted, instead of an abrupt cutoff. Reduced accidental churn from card declines and payment hiccups without needing manual follow-up on every failed charge.
