Showcase — Generative UI Platform

Gen OS

An enterprise generative UI workspace that turns natural language into fully interactive, branded tools — live, in the browser. Describe what you need and Gen OS assembles it from pre-approved component types with brand guardrails built in. The result is a shared tool library that grows smarter the more it's used.

View Live Type a prompt — watch it build a tool

1 Intent → interface — describe a tool in plain language and Gen OS assembles it using structured JSON components, not raw code.

2 11 pre-approved component types — enterprise guardrails ensure generated tools are consistent, safe, and on-brand.

3 Brand MCP system — connects to brand guidelines so every generated tool inherits the correct colors, fonts, and voice.

4 Floating window workspace — tools open as draggable, resizable panels — a true OS-style environment in the browser.

5 Shared tool library — generated tools can be saved, forked, and shared across a team — the OS gets smarter with use.

About

Senior Motion Graphic Designer at Merge, 4+ years in broadcast motion design and video production. Daily tools: After Effects, Cinema 4D, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator.

I also work with Everyday Astronaut — editing videos, building animations, and running live rocket launch broadcasts on-site.

Every project here was built with AI-assisted development. I define problems, design solutions, and direct Claude and Gemini to write the code. This is what happens when a designer who lives inside production workflows gets the ability to ship software.

Process

Find the friction

I work inside the pipeline every day. I know where time gets wasted because I feel it.

Design the solution

Creative background means UX-first thinking. What does the team actually need?

Build with AI

Claude and Gemini write the code. I direct architecture and debug. Full-stack apps, iOS, extensions, AE scripts.

Ship and iterate

Deploy, share with the team, get feedback, improve.
