Hey, welcome in.
I build and operate CardForge Studio as an Oregon sole proprietor. I use AI-assisted code generation alongside my own ideas, design choices, testing, and stubborn curiosity to turn useful product ideas into real software.
My path has not been a straight line. I’ve spent time traveling 44/48 states and Hawaii. Most of that time was spent hitchhiking. Those experiences taught me about resourcefulness, freedom, hospitality, and how far you can get by staying curious and making the most of what is in front of you.
CardForge is the first product in a larger independent journey. I’m building products that help people make things, solve real problems, and create a more stable and generous life along the way.
Support the journey
Voluntary support helps pay for food, housing, transportation, development time, and the ordinary business costs behind the work.
Creator Pass is the best way to support CardForge as a business. It is a product subscription that includes CardForge access and gives the business dependable support to keep growing.
