About

A small studio, run by one person.

I build websites, dashboards, CMS platforms, and supervised AI workflows for small businesses, founders, field teams, wellness studios, real estate partners, marine consultants, and creative teams. I do the design, the code, and the handoff myself.

§ I

What the work looks like

Most engagements start with a sentence like “I need a better website,” “I need AI,” or “I need a dashboard.” The first job is to turn that into a single build path: one real first milestone, the risks named out loud, and a maintenance plan the team can carry without me.

Builds are usually Next.js and TypeScript, Sanity for editable content, and AI only where a person can still review what it produces.

When a build needs a real backend — auth, a database, offline queues — I extend the same project with Supabase and Postgres under row-level security. Field Ledger walks through one of those end-to-end.

§ II

What I will not do

  • Ship software a team cannot maintain.
  • Use AI to silently make decisions a person should be making.
  • Dress up an early concept as a finished product.
  • Build dark patterns, manufactured urgency, or attention traps.

Seventh Agora

Alongside client work I'm writing Seventh Agora — a long-term writing and design project. Mostly unwritten so far, and not for sale. It's where some of the choices behind the projects above get worked out first.

“I've worked with a lot of vendors who build what you ask for. Jack built what I meant.”
