Projects

Kami is a fast, lightweight and local markdown editor I built for people who value privacy and speed. It works offline, weighs under 15mb, is open source and completely free. Folks use it as their second brain or PKMS.

It's built with Tauri, React, Prosemirror and Rust; keeps documents on disk, supports multiple windows, renders extended markdown such as LaTeX and Mermaid diagrams, and has support for Miller Columns.

Branding and visual identity for Infiniteloop a Johannesburg based music and sound production studio that provides recording equipment, mixing and audio production for artists & companies.

I designed a brand and visual identity built around the constraints of being Timeless, Scalable and Industrial. Which fit what Infiniteloop wanted to be known for. Providing a great studio.

Designed a cross-platform image generation concept as part of a larger project proposal for Weights. Weights is a generative AI platform where anyone can go to create AI voice covers, art, characters, and more.

Explored how professional-grade image generation tools could feel lightweight, spatial, and visually immersive, balancing prompt input, model selection, asset handling, and image browsing in a single creative workspace.

Founded a company to make finding uniquely talented people from within your network more legible. I.e. "Find all designers in London following me / my investors that have worked at X company.

It combined pre-enriched data from Twitter, Github and Linkedin with an expansive boolean search engine built on top that allowed folks to search by skills, experience and interests.

I designed and built a suite of tools for on–the–go rapid prototyping and wireframing with the goal of minimising the feedback loop between idea and iteration.

These tools were built for fun after being heavily inspired by Apple's WWDC 2021, and their ability to continually push unique and intuitive interaction mechanisms.

I worked as an early employee and design engineer at Canary, an infosec company that alerts your security team when your internal network has been been breached. In my time there, Canary bootstrapped its way to $12m ARR while scaling rapidly.

I touched almost every product surface area, including working on a port of the legacy dashboard to a newly designed UI and modern codebase. Canary, despite being an enterprise infosec product, is much loved for its design simplicity.

While working on a site for an architecture studio, I built a browser based particle generator that takes an image and outputs a gaussian splat using Apple's ML SHARP, Three.js & GPGPU.

The technical beauty of the project lies in how it compresses the output from ML SHARP into pgs.gz format (10–13% of original size), which is then decoded and rendered in the browser using Three.js.

Designed the brand identity and e-commerce website for Dakora, a Johannesburg-based furniture and homeware brand. The website brings Dakora’s furniture, accessories, café, apartments and journal into a single editorial storefront.

The work translated its quiet, enduring approach to design into a restrained visual system: measured typography, generous spacing and image-led layouts allow the materials, objects and spaces to remain the focus.
