The Studio
Side quests: a youth trial-day platform [5-day capstone project, from Western Ivey Summer Program], a philosophy deck born from Junior Achievement BC, and a training log mixing my world of karate with learning to code. More to come!

FirstDay
Western Ivey Summer Business Program, Team Capstone
The programs already exist, plenty of them. What actually keeps teens out is one feeling: if nobody I know is going, I’m not going either. We built FirstDay to fix exactly that: a tailored, searchable place for trial days and drop-in sessions, so trying something new doesn’t depend on already knowing someone on the inside.
“Nobody shows up alone on Firstday.”
Mind Over Media
Junior Achievement Company Program, VP of Finance
A deck of 50 open-ended philosophy questions, no right answers, no outside influence steering the conversation, built through Junior Achievement’s Company Program and priced to actually turn a profit.
“We each put in over $100 of our own money just to get the product made.”
Karate OS
Personal project, a web app
There was no real training log built for a sport this size, so I built one myself, for my club and my teammates to actually use, five tabs deep, one of them built around the mental side of the sport most training logs skip entirely.
Deployed, still actively edited
If you want to get it done, just lock in. Karate OS went from a random idea to a working web app in one Saturday morning!
I learned you have to build something you're actually passionate about. Then it stops feeling like work and starts feeling genuinely fun, and that's exactly where you're most likely to succeed.
