Other Projects & Explorations

Shipped side projects and animation studies. Smaller in scope than the featured work, but each one answered a specific question about a framework, a surface, or an interaction pattern.

2021

A single stroke, animated

iOS · UIBezierPath

A UIBezierPath study that traces the entire onboarding card in one continuous path.

A small experiment in motion: a single UIBezierPath describes the outline of a welcome card, and a circle rides that path as a progress indicator. The path is expressed once and reused for both the shape and the animation timeline, which keeps them in sync by construction. Useful as a pattern for onboarding screens where a shape and its traversal should never drift apart.

TopTens

iOS · SceneKit

A spatial take on Apple's top-ten charts.

TopTens is a SceneKit-driven exploration of how Apple's weekly MUSIC / iTunes / Podcasts top-ten charts could render as physical objects rather than a flat list. Each row becomes a tilted card floating in 3D space, parallaxing as the device moves and reacting to category changes with smooth palette transitions. The goal wasn't a shipping product: it was a study in how much personality you can draw out of a simple ranked list when you put it on a stage instead of a page.

Saturn Remote

iOS · Indie

The ultimate media remote for PC. Launch, browse, tinker, and tile.

Saturn Remote is an iOS companion for a Windows media PC. Pick a couch, pick an app, and drive the TV from your phone: shortcuts for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon, HBO Max, and YouTube live alongside native media and transport controls. Window tiling actions (minimize, maximize, grid, focus) turn a multi-monitor setup into a glanceable surface.
