Make Every Drop Count

A civic-style conservation hub: messaging, resources, and mobile-first structure for regional water programs.

Regional water agencies and utilities in Southern California run conservation education in parallel with rebates, restrictions, and seasonal messaging. Public audiences skim on phones; boards and partners expect tone that is serious without alarmism. Campaign properties have to stay editable as ordinances and programs change.

State National Insurance App

Native iOS and Android for a specialty P&C carrier—policy access, documents, and agent workflows without desktop lock-in.

State National Companies is a specialty property-and-casualty insurer known for lender services and program (fronting) services, operating nationwide. It is part of the Markel Group. In that environment, mobile is not a marketing accessory—it is a channel where agents and policyholders expect the same sobriety they associate with the core brand.

RecuestLive

Real-time request and fulfillment with aligned web and mobile clients—status, trust, and predictable handoffs.

RecuestLive connects people initiating real-time requests with people who can fulfill them. In two-sided, time-sensitive products, trust is a function of state: users need to know where a request sits, what happens if someone drops off, and what “done” means—without calling support.

Skippy the App

Consumer mobile product focused on first-session clarity, not feature sprawl.

Consumer apps compete on clarity and habit. Skippy targets everyday tasks with a product that had to feel approachable on first launch—not buried behind onboarding friction.

Service Area Map

Browser-based territory visualization so teams answer coverage questions without digging through spreadsheets.

Organizations with geographic service boundaries often rely on spreadsheets or static PDFs. A web-based map turns that into something teams can explore and align on in meetings.

Cannabis Champs Dice Edition

Branded dice game on mobile and web—rules-first UX for short sessions.

Regulated-industry brands sometimes use light gameplay for engagement. The product had to feel intentional—not a reskinned template.

Arion Pay

Payments and account management across web and mobile with explicit, trustworthy flows.

Payment and account products are judged in seconds: hierarchy, copy, and confirmation patterns signal whether users should continue. Ambiguity in amounts, timing, or outcomes drives abandonment and support tickets.

CenterZero Password Manager

Password manager UX across desktop and web—security pacing without punishing daily use.

Password managers sit at the intersection of security and daily habit. If common tasks feel slow, users circumvent the tool.

Waste No Water

Water efficiency campaign site: scannable guidance, CTAs, and structure for evolving programs.

Water efficiency campaigns in California align with long-term conservation norms. Digital properties need to stay current as ordinances and rebate programs change.

Otay Water District

Live public web for a Southern California water district—service content, programs, and editorial patterns staff can sustain.

Otay Water District serves retail water customers in southern San Diego County. A district site has to balance everyday service questions, regulatory and conservation messaging, and credibility with ratepayers—often on phones first.

Sunkey Insurance — Zywave integration dashboard

Structured spreadsheet intake, validation, API updates, and operator-facing dashboard views for an independent agency stack.

Independent agencies often live in spreadsheets long after they have licensed modern rating and agency-management tools. The gap is not “more reports”—it is trustworthy pipelines that turn operational files into something systems and people can act on.

Local Jackpots

Native iOS and Android with supporting web—store submission, session handling, and cross-surface UX kept deliberately aligned.

Local Jackpots pairs a consumer mobile experience with a public web presence. Products that span app stores and the open web have to agree on account expectations, branding, and what each surface is responsible for.

Hysolis

Hardware-adjacent mobile engineering—setup and in-field flows scoped for real connectivity, not demo Wi-Fi only.

Solar and energy-hardware companies often need mobile surfaces for setup, monitoring, or partner workflows—not a generic brochure app. Field conditions, permissions, and firmware-adjacent expectations matter as much as UI polish.

Nexter

Donation-oriented mobile UX—short path to completion, calm hierarchy, and explicit success and retry states.

Nonprofit and mission-driven products compete for attention with consumer apps. Donation flows need calm hierarchy, obvious trust cues, and minimal friction on small screens.

VFedPros

vfedpros.org — veteran-focused professional community site: structured programs, credible tone, and mobile-first reading.

Community and nonprofit-adjacent sites have to earn trust quickly: who you serve, how to participate, and what happens next. Many teams outgrow DIY pages but do not need a bloated enterprise CMS on day one.

WordPress AI chatbot plugin

Custom plugin: conversational UI in WordPress with server-mediated model calls, admin configuration, and safe credential handling.

Many marketing and content teams live in WordPress. A useful AI feature there has to respect editor workflows, hosting constraints, and the difference between public site content and what a model should say.
