Projects

Crave Cookie

A service where you order cookies online and they are delivered to your door. I did all the design, strategy, go-to-market, and engineering. Hear me on Stripe's Indie Hackers podcast and the DigitalOcean podcast.

One of my greatest lesssons was the power of convenience in the user flows during the online checkout experience and the importance of scarcity in driving consumer choice.

The entire experience was hand crafted (no ecommerce platform) so I deeply internalized the ecommerce technology landscape the hard way.

It generated over millions in revenue in the first year.
