Independent builder · Open to the right opportunity
I'm Clayton. I turn ideas into working products, then document the process from first sketch to final test.
Current build: Live My Gospel for iOS
Product thinking
Hands-on making
Software craft
Clear storytelling
Selected work
The archive starts here. New project films, prototypes, and postmortems will be added as they ship.
iOS app · 2026
A private, on-device companion for setting goals, tracking progress, and staying consistent. The app uses SwiftData, local notifications, and optional Contacts access—without accounts, analytics, or a remote database.

Earlier projects that made it out into the world.
002Card game · Kickstarter · 2021
Co-created after years of prototyping and play-testing. We took a strategic family card game from a summer-break idea to a manufactured, fully funded Kickstarter.
003YouTube channel · Started with my siblings
A sibling-run trick-shot and build channel. We learned how to make ideas clickable, shoot and edit, publish consistently, and grow an audience—with one video passing 4.3 million views.
How I work
Good projects get clearer once they leave the whiteboard. I like short feedback loops, honest constraints, and working prototypes.
Start with a real problem, not a feature list.
Turn the idea into something people can actually use.
Stress the rough parts, simplify, and keep moving.
Document what worked, what broke, and what comes next.
About
I care about the full arc of a project: the messy first version, the decisions that make it better, and the discipline to finish.
This site is my running record of that work—software, physical builds, experiments, and the lessons hiding between the polished shots.

I'm open to thoughtful teams, useful products, and ambitious work.
