Dad to 2 warrior princesses, partner who has 1 dopey Labrador. Builder, designer, autistic.
Went from “I’ll never be able to build this” to launching two projects solo last year.
No dev team or safety net. Just me, AI tools and a lot of trial and error.
Wrote up the full journey, from stuck to shipped.

If you’re hiring for an art director at the moment, let me know. I have a super creative, hard working friend recently impacted by layoffs who I’d love to recommend. Drop JD links and I’ll share them with him!
