I design and build products people actually want to use.
I'm Douglas — a designer who codes and a builder who ships. Front-end and design are where I shine, but I've worn the backend, creative-director, and marketing hats too. 35+ apps published since 2009, and I'm still ridiculously curious.
A full-stack range, with a design-shaped center of gravity.
Front-end & design
SpecialtyWhere I shine. Interfaces, design systems, motion, and the obsessive last 10% that makes a product feel good to touch.
Full-stack engineering
Comfortable in the backend too — APIs, data, infrastructure. I'll build the whole thing when the whole thing needs building.
Creative & marketing direction
Years as a creative director and a marketing director. Brand, story, and launch — not just the build.
Strategy & advising
I've advised startups, investment firms, and technical AI companies. I'm at home in the messy zero-to-one.
Platforms, games, fintech, and a few quiet ones.
A slice of 35+ published apps and the private builds I can't show off. The throughline: take the idea seriously, the ego not so much.
Division 6
My studio and label — the home for the apps, games, and Bitcoin tools I design, build, and publish under one roof.
influence.INC
A clone of the stock market that trades shares of influencers instead of companies. Buy low on someone before they go viral.
critically.io
A research network built to fight disinformation — people share sources as bite-size, linked chunks of information instead of hot takes.
Lexicube 3D
A Rubik's Cube that fell in love with Scrabble. Twist letters into words across three dimensions.
Reffo.deals
Real-time flash deals at restaurants — the scrappy first idea that eventually grew up into Reffo.ai.
Bitcoin tools
Calculators and explainers for paired trades around Bitcoin — making intimidating instruments finally make sense.
Countless private builds
Dozens of apps for people and companies that will never have a public URL. Quietly, some of my best work lives here.
Helping people and teams actually excel with AI.
I build AI-native products and advise AI companies for a living — agents, tooling, the works. But the part I love most is helping other people get fluent: turning "AI is overwhelming" into "AI is the best teammate I've got."
Founders & individuals
I'll set up the workflows, agents, and tooling that quietly multiply your output — and teach you to drive them, so you're empowered, not dependent.
Product & engineering teams
I help teams weave AI into the product and the process — design-led, actually shipped, and free of the hype that ages badly.
Companies & investors
I advise on AI strategy and separate what's real from what's noise — where the leverage actually is, and what's safe to ignore.
Wondering where AI actually fits for you? That's my favorite question.
Serious about growth. Lighthearted by nature.
I've been making mobile apps since 2009 and 3D experiences in Unity since 2012. Somewhere along the way I helped publish 35+ of them — games, marketplaces, social platforms, and a stock market that trades influencers instead of companies.
I'm a developer who's genuinely good across the stack, but I excel at the front-end and design — the part where craft becomes something you can feel. I've also been a creative director, a marketing director, and an advisor to startups, investment firms, and AI companies.
I take myself and my own growth seriously — but I lead with humor, and there's little I enjoy more than making someone smile. Whatever you're building, I start from the same question: how can I help?
Off the clock, I'm an Eagle Scout — still wired to be prepared and to leave things better than I found them — and I love to cook, ideally for a full table.
Today I'm building Reffo & Pelagora— and I'm open to the right team, role, or advisory seat.
How can I help?
Hiring, raising, launching — or just stuck on something gnarly? Tell me what you're working on. I'd genuinely love to help.
