A 10-bed respite facility for medically fragile kids, drowning in paper charts. Three hours mapping the workflow. The real ask: give my nurses back to the children.
A 29-page PDF brand guide scrapped for a 1,400-line website. The real output wasn't the guide — it was a philosophy about what designers become when systems do the executing.
My first GEO audit for a real client. The tools couldn't see the work already done, and the real problem turned out to be something the audit wasn't even looking for.
Before selling GEO audits to clients, I pointed the scanner at Alpha Dog's own site. The score was 52. The gaps were instructive.
Fifteen tools that didn't talk to each other. One Airtable record now triggers the entire event lifecycle -- graphics, emails, follow-ups, grant reporting. $5 a month.
A WhatsApp message goes in. A branded t-shirt mockup comes back. Building an AI design pipeline for a space solar panel company with an aesthetic nobody would guess.
A handyman in Indianapolis, two versions in two days, and a dental platform that accidentally became something bigger.
An NBA team finder where the screen splits in half with every answer. One HTML file, zero dependencies, and a 75/25 split that changed everything.
A white-label dental landing page system on Cloudflare Workers. No framework, no bundle, just a Worker that reads a database row and returns HTML.
A WebGL2 particle playground that turned into neural network visualizations. Thousands of particles on the GPU, shimmer pulses, and the kind of project with no deadline.
On curiosity that doesn't respect lane markings, AI as the thing that made range viable, and why "just a designer" is only half the story.
Why the work deserves a story, not documentation. The kind you could read years from now and remember not just the code, but the crossroads.
