MoodiBoard · Seattle, WA

Building MoodiBoard, a living art platform where the interface is the data. Visuals on screen are driven by real-time signals the user defines, or that a generative AI agent selects autonomously, creating an ambient, ever-changing portrait of your day. Sole owner of product strategy, design, and engineering.

• Designed the complete visual system from scratch: color, typography, spacing tokens, component library, and interaction patterns; production-ready Figma files throughout
• Architected full-stack system solo: React, Tailwind, Next.js, Python, Vercel
• Integrated generative AI agent for autonomous signal selection and real-time visual adaptation
• Builds and iterates directly in code: prototypes in browser rather than waiting for handoff
• Operates entirely within an agentic development workflow: Claude Code, Figma MCP, v0
• Actively experiments with emerging AI tools and integrates findings into design and prototyping workflows
