A working ledger of things I’ve built, wound-down, or would do differently — with the lessons left in the margins. Updated when something meaningful comes to an end.
Field Guide
Replaced four internal wikis with a single writing surface. Fifteen teams, 2,400 entries and counting.
Wavelength
Two years of nights trying to build Git for Logic Pro projects. Shipped, grew to 400 paying users, then ran into a licensing wall I couldn't negotiate around.
Quiet Type
The old font picker had 14 fields. The new one has three. Ships in every new template since Q3 '22.
Ledger
Pandemic project — ninety beta users at $8/mo. Learned people who hate bookkeeping hate paying for it too. The onboarding flow still lives in my back pocket.
Margin Notes
Annotation layer on top of internal design-system docs. It worked; it was also the wrong solve. Still the reason I think about ghost-empty-states weekly.
Paper UI
A side-project design system I built before I knew what a design system was. Every token wrong. Every component broke at 767px. The reason I got hired.
