Experiments
Figma / FigJam plugins
After spending hours ripping apart junior designer's messy files, I decided to make a Figma plug-in to search for and recommend the closest match for any text styles that had drifted or were broken.
For some reason, this super basic FigJam widget is my most popular (only a modest 209 users), but it allows teams to have basic team norming details in a FigJam file. I suppose people still want to connect.
At one point, a friend gifted me a decahedron that only gave stereotypical art direction. I decided to turn this into a real Figma plug-in to be sassy.
Made specifically for a now-dead talent model within Deloitte Digital, this plugin Based on the idea from Figma's own talent models, it would help align expectations and get clear, actionable results when providing feedback to junior designers. At some point, I should probably make this generic.
To keep consistency across files, a lot of our team members have adopted a certain file naming convention. While informative, it is difficult to make these manual edits en masse with the addition or removal of a series of comps. This plugin helps automate that flow.
Productivity tools
I got tired of using plug-ins with paywalls, sketchy websites, and other lackluster tools when converting my images to WebP. Considering it was open source, I quickly worked up a WebP converter that I can host on my own website and use whenever I want.

AI vibe designing loves making toenail borders©. They're disgusting, and I'm a smartass, so I vibe coded this toenail border clipper.
Back before the AI revolution, I used to spend a fair portion of my time prototyping by hand. I was by no means a coder. Feel free to peruse my code pen profile to see what I'm capable of if the wi-fi is ever down.
My website has a fair number of video clips. I'm certainly not paying Adobe for just an encoder subscription, and I'm certainly not going to be sketchy and use my work license to encode personal videos. Luckily, there are open source, free for personal use codecs available, so I was able to vibe code a Video and GIF encoder Using Xcode to create a Mac desktop app.
