I’ve been dancing my whole life and I still freeze the moment I try to freestyle. I know I need to trust my body, but the voice inside my head is so loud that I shut down. So I built an app to rewire my brain and transform the negative self-talk into new dance pathways. If you’ve ever crumbled under attention, and talked yourself out of something… this one’s for you. OR… you can tell me to just STFU and invite me to dance in the clubs instead lol 💃🏻🥳 Link in bio for the app! #dance #ʜᴏᴜsᴇᴍᴜsɪᴄ

To my girlies who deal with chronic pain events, that the doctors just tell you IS NORMAL 🙄 … I see you. I’m with you. And this one’s for you. Stop getting gaslighted by the medical industry and start coming with your own receipts. If you think this would help you, happy to build you a local version to use.

This one’s for the girlies. Tired of being gaslit by your healthcare provider on managing pain? 👀 No more of that. We’re coming with our own receipts. New tiny app coming soon!

If you’re like me and addicted to your phone, the scrolling in the morning gets in the way of whatever I set out to do first thing in the morning. Here’s the thing … if something is easy to ignore, it will be ignored. I turned turned my lock screen into a way of taking hostage of the thing we’re addicted to (our phones + scrolling) and motivate you to GO DO THAT THING. Because designing the environment is easier than fighting yourself. 
Would this help you, or drive you insane?

Everyone says “just build better habits.”
No one tells you what to do when your phone has already won. So I stopped arguing with it and built something instead. More soon!

Buying health insurance in this country is intentionally designed to intimidate and keep you out. I hate that. I built an app that takes in your health care usage from last year, and compares 3 plans that fit your needs. It does all the heavy lifting for you. 
If you’ve dealt with this, you get it. I’m here for you. I call myself a patient advocate because I will literally spend time doing the research + math so you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Everyone talks about mentors. The people who open doors for you and push you forward. And I’ve been so blessed with many mentors who have guided me personally and professionally. But we don’t really talk about the moments that quietly change how you see yourself. The rooms where you’re talked down to. The situations where staying quiet starts to feel safer than speaking up. The point where you realize you’ve stopped trusting your own ideas. That last one was the hardest for me. And working my way out of these villain stories has made me stronger. Tiny Apps started as a way to rebuild that trust with myself. Not to prove anything to anyone. Just to remind myself that I’m creative. I have ideas, and I can execute. If this resonated with you, let me be the one to remind you that YOU’RE THAT GIRL 💅 let your voice be the loudest cheerleader in the room so that no one can ever drag you down again.

People talk about getting a runner’s high, but I have never felt it. Ever. As a dancer, I need music to carry me the last mile. But when I already feel like I’m dying, the last thing I can do is pull out my phone to change songs because that’s all it takes to stop running. I built this tiny app so that it switches the playlist automatically on the last mile, so I don’t even have to think about it. It carries the mental load for me. The right song at the right moment changes how long you can stay in it. Designing for momentum beats waiting for willpower. 
Beast mode activated 💪

Runner’s high has never hit me. But the right song at the right moment has. So I built an app that plays my motivation songs right when I need them. If you can relate, I’m sharing the full build soon.

My slightly more unhinged app I’ve ever made. An app to track your farts. Because let’s be real. Foods hit differently in your thirties than twenties. And sometimes your body makes a real stink about it. I built this to log patterns over time to see what foods interact a certain way. It’s less about obsessing, more about noticing.
Seeing the patterns makes things feel less random. 
Would this be helpful for you?

Your thirties are for giving less fucks about farting, and fully diving into them… because your digestive system is throwing a tantrum. This is one of my more unhinged apps I’ve built. By why not have a little fun if you’re forced to track your farts. Full release coming soon

When memory gets unreliable, small mistakes turn into tension. This started as a way to track medication accurately with timestamps just with the click of a button. When you’re in caretaking mode, it’s about removing uncertainty from something that matters. Sometimes the most useful tools are the quiet ones. 
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
