Portfolio
Everything here started as something I needed for myself. I built it, used it, gave it to the people close to me, and at some point it became a real product. That's the pattern.
The list gets updated as we move forward.
StudyDeck.io
I was working full-time and enrolled in aviation school at the same time. I joined the semester late and failed my first test at 30%. I didn't have time to re-read anything. So I built something that would quiz me on my own notes and bring back the questions I kept getting wrong. I went from 30 to 70 in four weeks.
My elder sister used it for her medical fellowship exams. My younger sister uses it for engineering board prep. My best friend uses it for nursing clinicals. It started as my panic solution.
Now it's live.
StudyDeck turns your notes into quizzes. Decky, the mascot, brings back the questions you missed right before you'd forget them. There's also an audio feature that turns your notes into a podcast episode you can listen to on the walk home.

GraceNotes Daily
I came back to faith and genuinely didn't know how to build a daily relationship with God. Every morning I'd open my Bible and just stare at it. Where do I go? What do I read? I'd close it and hope the day would somehow still feel grounded.
I wanted a structured ritual that would make me feel like I was actually showing up, not just guessing. So I built one.
GraceNotes Daily gives me a short daily grace note to start the morning, a devotional to read, a place to pray, a place to journal properly, and a place to just check in with God the way you'd check in with a person you're in a relationship with.
It was built for people who want to grow closer to God but don't always know how to start on an ordinary Tuesday.

Habitué Design House
Six years of designing and running Airbnbs in Nairobi. The more properties I set up to a high standard, the sharper my eye got for what makes a space actually feel good to be in. Not just nice for the photos. Actually good.
Friends started asking me to help with their spaces. Then they started sending money. Then it became a studio.
Habitué works on commercial residential projects such as short-stay properties (Airbnbs, resorts, and the like) and high-end residences. We do the whole thing: concept through to execution, sourcing, site management, handover. The standard is high by design.
The Host Standard
Running Airbnbs taught me that cleanliness is the whole thing. Not a nice-to-have. The whole thing. I watched hosts lose their Superhost status, lose weeks of bookings, because a guest walked in and it still smelled like the last checkout.
I'd been working with Christina for five years. First in my home, then quickly needed her ops mind to manage the cleaning operations of my then-growing portfolio of Airbnbs. She has been the backbone of that end of my business. We'd already built the trust and the track record together. We made it official.
The Host Standard is a monthly subscription cleaning service for premium Airbnb hosts in Nairobi's high-brow neighbourhoods. Hosts subscribe, and we fully take over the cleaning ops for that property; from frequent maintenance to turnover cleaning.
