Selected work

These case studies show a recurring pattern: real needs becoming clearer requirements, usable systems, public-facing tools, documentation, decision trails, and durable handoffs.

Natural-language community infrastructure for arts and music organizers

Co-founded, co-built, and operated a natural-language community-calendar platform across 35 city ecosystems, supporting local organizers who used WOW List to run calendars, websites, and email lists for their own scenes.

What was emerging
DIY organizers needed lightweight ways to distribute events and maintain community visibility across scenes without relying on one centralized editorial calendar.
What became usable
A natural-language, collaboratively editable event system that turned community vocabulary into followable keyword calendars and organizer-facing distribution workflows.

What became usable
Repeatable participation infrastructure for gatherings, resident artists, onboarding, facilitation, and handoffs.
