That person is me, and it isn't working. I can build these all day — I have been. What I can't do is also be the one who films it, cuts it, shoots it, styles it, posts it and does it well. So I'd rather pay you.
I've built eleven things — iPhone apps, a Mac app, web tools, kiosk software running on a real counter, a chai brand in a jar, and a cafe you can walk into. Four are live in Apple's App Stores. They work, and they are finished enough to hand to a stranger.
Almost nobody knows they exist, and that is entirely a me problem. Every hour I've had has gone into making the products good. Which means the part where somebody actually sees one has been getting the leftovers, and leftovers is not a strategy.
I'm not looking for an agency and I'm not looking for a growth hack. I'm looking for people who make things — video, photos, design, motion, words — who want real, working products to make work about, and who would like to get paid for it while they build a body of work that's actually theirs.
No mystery, no runaround. These are the terms before you write me, not after.
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.
Say a plan out loud — the appointment, the prep, the reminders, the leave-by minute — and it's already handled.
Hold the function key. Speak. The words land at your cursor — verbatim, in any app a cursor opens.
Describe a vibe and it plays the room — original music made for the places people walk into.
Release-ready lyrics and a tuned style prompt — so it doesn't sound like AI wrote it.
Five AI agencies name it. One clearance gauntlet decides. You leave knowing which name is clear — and which to kill.
Scan any label or menu. One sharp verdict — scored, explained, and remembered for next time.
Point it at any photo and it writes the caption — headline, subhead and a full editorial layout, in about three seconds.
Self-order kiosk software for Square businesses — forged on a real cafe counter, not in a demo.
Catches the WiFi drop the second it happens — and hands you the receipt your ISP can't dispute.
Seven organic ingredients. Zero sugar. The cafe's own chai, packaged for your kitchen.
Coffee, chai and pastry on the water — the one product you can walk into.
Pick whichever one you'd actually want to make something for. Tell me what you'd make. Get paid for it, and keep it.
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.
Two groups I especially want to hear from. If you were in the film program at Washtenaw Community College with me, or you interned for me at the University of Michigan — I've already seen you work. I'd rather pay someone I know is good than audition a stranger. Write me even if it's been years, and even if you've moved on to something else entirely.
And if you don't want work at all: that's a completely fine reason to write. Most people I know have no idea any of this exists. If one of the eleven is useful to you, take it. If it's useful to someone you know, send it to them. That helps more than you'd think.
This goes straight to my inbox and gets a real answer from me — not a form letter, not an ATS. Send a link to work you've already made. That's the whole audition.
Everything except your name and email is optional. If all you want to say is "hey, I know you, good luck" — put that in the message and send it. I'll take it.
