Chef Vola's

Private, phone-first reservations

A phone-first reservation system for an exclusive Atlantic City restaurant — a cloned-voice phone line takes requests, and a calm iOS app lets the owner review availability and confirm every table by hand.

Idyll

AI companion for seniors

One calm screen turns a senior's own tablet into connection and companionship — with an AI companion, Idyll, and a wellbeing feed that tells the family “Mom's doing okay.”

LocumTenens.com

Canonical UX reference

A fully runnable, data-driven React prototype that defines what the production React Native app builds against — a triage home, a tiered notification system, and multi-week timesheet flows.

/about

I've spent 25 years making software easier to use — most of it leading design teams at Slalom, for Delta, IHG, The Home Depot and Coca-Cola. Now I design and build my own products as well.

The part I like best is the start, when nobody agrees what the thing is yet: talking to the people who'll use it, working out what it should actually do, and getting to something real fast enough to put in front of them. Now I direct AI coding agents to build what I design, so that something real can be a working app instead of a picture of one. That's how the LocumTenens.com reference app came about, and how I made Idyll and Chef Vola's — one is in private distribution on the App Store, the other is waiting on review.
