Open call · paid · remote · hourly

Paid work, on products
that already exist.

Video, photographs, design, motion, words — for real products you can open and use before you decide what to make. Your rate, your credit, and the work stays yours to show. I’d like this to be the kind of project you’re glad you took.

What this is

Eleven products — iPhone apps, a Mac app, web tools, kiosk software running on a working counter, a chai brand in a jar, and a cafe you can walk into. They are built, they work, and you can open most of them right now without asking anyone.

What they don’t have yet is the video, the photographs, the design and the words they deserve. That is the work, and it is paid.

I would rather work with a few people who are good at this and enjoy doing it than run a process. Clear briefs, quick answers, and invoices paid when the work lands. Nobody here is expected to be up at 3am chasing a revision — we are all people with lives, and the work goes better when it fits inside one.

How this works

No mystery, no runaround. These are the terms before you write me, not after.

  • Paid, hourly You tell me your rate. If it’s fair for the work, it’s a yes. Invoiced, and paid when the work lands.
  • Project by project Start with one piece for one product. If we both enjoy it, there are ten more products and a standing amount of work.
  • Fully remote All of it can be made from wherever you are. If you happen to be near the cafe and want to shoot on location, that’s a bonus, not a requirement.
  • Send what exists I won’t ask you to make something free to prove you can. Show me work you’re already proud of — that’s what a portfolio is for.
  • A real brief, a real answer You’ll know what the piece is for before you start, and you won’t wait a week to hear what I think of it.
  • Your name on it Credited as the maker, yours to show anywhere — reel, portfolio, site, client deck. And I’ll say so in writing to anyone who asks.

Eleven briefs.
Pick one.

This is the part most creative work doesn't come with: the thing already exists, and you can go use it right now before you decide. Open any of them. If one makes you think "I know exactly what I'd make for that" — that's the one.

Composed01
iOS · Planner

Say a plan out loud — the appointment, the prep, the reminders, the leave-by minute — and it's already handled.

Would loveDay-in-the-life short-form. Someone genuinely overloaded talking to their phone and watching a week assemble itself.

Halopen02
macOS · Dictation

Hold the function key. Speak. The words land at your cursor — verbatim, in any app a cursor opens.

Would loveScreen-recorded demos. The whole product is a three-second moment; it has never been filmed properly.

Describe a vibe and it plays the room — original music made for the places people walk into.

Would loveAtmosphere B-roll in real cafes, shops, salons, hotels. Sound-on content where the music is the point.

HookGenius04
Web · Music creation

Release-ready lyrics and a tuned style prompt — so it doesn't sound like AI wrote it.

Would loveMusicians making a track start to finish on camera. If you already make music content, this is free material.

Brand Cleared05
Web · Naming

Five AI agencies name it. One clearance gauntlet decides. You leave knowing which name is clear — and which to kill.

Would loveFounder-facing explainer. Watching a real name get killed on camera is the whole story.

Scan any label or menu. One sharp verdict — scored, explained, and remembered for next time.

Would loveGrocery-aisle short-form. Scan, react, move on. The most natively shootable thing I have.

Vibatorial07
iOS · Photography

Point it at any photo and it writes the caption — headline, subhead and a full editorial layout, in about three seconds.

Would lovePhotographers running their own shots through it. If you shoot, your existing archive is the demo. In review with Apple.

Order June08
iPad · Kiosk software

Self-order kiosk software for Square businesses — forged on a real cafe counter, not in a demo.

Would loveA proper case-study film. Real customers ordering at a real counter, cut like something a business would trust.

SignalDrop09
macOS · Utility

Catches the WiFi drop the second it happens — and hands you the receipt your ISP can't dispute.

Would loveA tight explainer for anyone who's been blamed for the WiFi. Small product, extremely specific pain.

Cafe Meria11
Hospitality

Coffee, chai and pastry on the water — the one product you can walk into.

Would lovePlace-driven content, and a seasonal library the cafe can actually run on. Location shoot if you're close; remote edit if you're not.

Who I'm looking for

If you make something that ends up on a screen, you're probably on this list. If you do a version of this that isn't on the list, write me anyway — I'd rather hear it than guess.

  • Short-form video
  • Video editing
  • Photography
  • Food & product styling
  • Motion & animation
  • Graphic design
  • App Store screenshots
  • Copywriting
  • Social management
  • Creator partnerships
  • Podcast & audio
  • Something adjacent

If we have worked together before, say so. I would rather pay someone whose work I have already seen than audition a stranger, and it does not matter how long ago it was or what you have moved on to since.

And you don’t have to want work to write. If one of the eleven is useful to you, take it — most are free to try. If it’s useful to someone you know, send it their way. That is a genuinely good outcome too.

Put your
name in

This goes straight to my inbox and gets a real answer from me — not a form letter, not an applicant tracking system. Send a link to something you’ve already made. That’s the whole audition.

Everything except your name and email is optional. If you’d rather just say hello, do that — it’s a good enough reason on its own.

A link beats a résumé. Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Drive — anything I can open.
