The Evidence Desk research workspace with its study library and question editor

Research workflow · Browser product

The Evidence Desk

A workspace for separating what a source says from what an argument proposes.

The problem
Notes become difficult to evaluate when evidence, interpretation, and speculation blur together.
The design
A source ledger, explicit claim categories, competing interpretations, and exportable study briefs. Drafts stay in the browser.

Bit Bench with a joke editor, beat controls, and revision workspace

Interaction design · Creative workflow

Bit Bench

A writer’s workbench for developing material without losing the version that almost worked.

The problem
Premises, alternate endings, timing notes, and revisions can scatter across unrelated documents.
The design
Editable beats, version comparison, speaking-time estimates, performance notes, and script exports in one local workspace.

Paperback Cover Calculator interface with book specifications and cover planning information

Product design · Publishing utility

Paperback Cover Calculator

Turn book specifications into a cover guide you can see, measure, and export.

The problem
Trim size, page count, paper, bleed, and spine width are connected decisions that are easy to misread in isolation.
The design
A responsive full-wrap diagram, input checks, and SVG/PDF exports. Clearly labeled as a planning aid, not finished upload artwork.

Shop and services page with a paper and navy editorial layout

Web design · Service experience

A clearer way to book

A service shop that makes the scope as visible as the price.

The problem
Broad service lists leave people guessing what they are buying, what to supply, and how to begin.
The design
Filterable services, detailed scope dialogs, direct inquiry paths, and hosted checkout after the scope and delivery window are agreed.

The Creator Cannot Be Contained book cover by Karson Bailey

Authorship · Research & publishing

The Creator Cannot Be Contained

A book and companion reading experience for difficult questions in Scripture.

The work
Biblical research, long-form writing, manuscript development, and a connected reading experience.
The approach
Distinguish text from inference, give competing readings a fair hearing, and keep the limits of a conclusion visible.

Creations collection featuring downloadable tools for comedy and publishing

Workflow design · Downloadable tools

Tools for the workbench

Reusable resources drawn from the work of writing, publishing, and developing ideas.

The collection
Dark Comedy Premise Lab and KDP Genius: structured tools for supported Codex workspaces.
The handoff
Versioned downloads, installation guidance, examples, and explicit requirements. These are workspace tools, not standalone apps.

The work behind the interface

Start with the
real question.

I work across research, design, writing, and digital marketing. The connecting thread is making information easier to understand and act on.

That means defining the task, arranging the information, building a usable path, and checking what happens on a real screen. Clear boundaries matter as much as a polished result.
