Myanmar Teak Decor / 缅华艺家
Trilingual Business Website + Custom CMS + PWA
A live trilingual website and content system for a Myanmar teak furniture workshop — one brand presence in Chinese, English, and Burmese.
Homepage
Product & design
Blog article
Mobile / PWA
Problem
The workshop makes solid teak doors, cabinets, staircases, and furniture from its own factory in Kengtawng, Shan State, but reached buyers only through chat apps and forwarded photos. Its customers span three language communities, high-value orders begin as a conversation rather than a checkout, and there was nothing durable to point people to that showed the work and explained why real Burmese teak costs what it does.
Solution
A warm, gallery-led site in three languages, with a product and design section, a blog that answers the questions buyers actually ask before a big order, and a consultation-and-quote path instead of a cart. A custom CMS lets the team publish in all three languages themselves, and the site installs to a phone with a one-tap call button.
My role
- Brand and visual direction
- Trilingual information architecture
- Full front-end and back-end build
- Custom CMS build
- Content and blog structure
- PWA and mobile experience
- SEO setup
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
Three languages is a content problem before it is a code problem. Building the CMS so the team can publish all three versions side by side is what keeps the translations from quietly drifting apart after launch.
Future improvements
- Grow the project gallery
- Add structured product enquiries
- Expand the blog
- Continue performance and image tuning
MTEMR — Myanmar Theological Education & Missionary Resources
Nonprofit Website + Multi-User CMS + PWA
A live website and multi-user publishing system for a mission organization supporting theological education and frontline pastors in Myanmar — with an editorial workflow the team runs themselves.
Homepage
Ministry page
Annual report
Mobile / PWA
Problem
The organization supports pastors and theological students in Myanmar through the aftermath of the pandemic and the 2021 coup. Its site was stuck in a website builder: years of ministry writing were trapped there, nobody could publish without the one person who knew the tool, and there was no way to review what went out before it went out. Its audience is spread across countries and reads mostly on mobile phones, often on slow connections.
Solution
A hand-built site with a real content system behind it. Every page, article and image from the old builder was migrated across word for word — 51 pages, 26 articles, 202 media files — and the team now publishes through a five-role admin with a proper editorial path: draft, autosave, submit for review, approve or reject with a reason, and a revision history if something needs winding back. Static pages are edited as blocks, so nobody touches code to change a hero or add a gallery.
My role
- Site architecture
- Full front-end and back-end build
- Multi-user CMS and editorial workflow
- Role and permission design
- Content migration from the old site
- Media library and image pipeline
- PWA and mobile experience
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
The hard part of a nonprofit site is not the pages, it is the handover. Writing goes out under the organization's name, so the review step — who may publish, who must approve, and how you undo a mistake — is the feature. Build it and the site is theirs; skip it and they are still calling you to fix a typo.
Future improvements
- Add a Burmese language edition
- Expand the article and report archive
- Refine the giving flow
- Continue accessibility and performance passes
活磐堂 Living Rock Toronto Assembly
Bilingual Church Site + In-Place Live Editor
A live bilingual site for a Chinese church in North York, Toronto — with an editor that lets the church change any word on the page by clicking it.
Homepage
Service times
Building fund
Mobile
Problem
A Chinese-speaking congregation in Toronto needed a site that served two audiences at once: members reading Chinese and neighbours reading English. Service times, activity photos and the building-fund figure change constantly, and every previous version meant emailing someone and waiting. A church needs its notice board back.
Solution
Ten pages in Chinese and English, and a live editor built for people who have never seen a CMS: sign in, and the page you are already looking at becomes editable — click a heading to retype it, swap a photo, adjust the spacing of a section, or drop in a new one. What you edit is what visitors see, on the page itself, with no separate admin screen to learn.
My role
- Site and brand direction
- Bilingual content structure
- Front-end build
- Live edit engine
- Admin and authentication
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
Church volunteers do not want a dashboard, they want their page. Editing in place — on the real page, in the real layout — removed the step where someone has to imagine how a form field will look once published, and that step was the whole reason nobody updated the old site.
Future improvements
- Sermon audio archive
- Event calendar with sign-up
- Expand the photo albums
- Continue accessibility passes
PrimeCareRMT
Clinic Website + Online Booking Engine + Admin Platform
A live registered massage therapy clinic site where patients book themselves in — real availability, therapist choice, and an admin platform the clinic runs day to day.
Booking flow
Homepage
Services & pricing
Mobile
Problem
A registered massage therapy clinic loses bookings to the phone. Patients look for an RMT in the evening and cannot ring; the front desk copies appointments between a paper diary and a calendar; two therapists get promised the same slot. The clinic needed patients to be able to book at 11pm without anyone risking a double-booking.
Solution
A clinical, RMT-focused site with a three-step booking flow: choose a service and duration, pick from real availability, confirm. Patients can request a specific therapist or take whoever is free, get an .ics calendar file and an email, and reschedule or cancel themselves through a self-service link. Behind it, an admin platform holds the bookings calendar, customers, therapists and their schedules, clinic hours, services and prices, and an activity log.
My role
- Site and brand direction
- Booking flow and availability rules
- Booking engine build
- Admin platform build
- Roles and permissions
- Email and calendar delivery
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
The booking rules are the product. Business hours, durations, buffers and one therapist in two places at once are all one question — can this slot actually be honoured — and the answer has to live on the server, because a patient with a stale page will happily book a slot that went five minutes ago.
Future improvements
- Add reminders before appointments
- Report on no-shows and utilisation
- Direct-billing paperwork support
- Continue accessibility passes
Emerald Massage Clinic & Spa
Clinic & Spa Website + Booking Engine (in progress)
A live website for a massage, spa and nails clinic in Thornhill, Ontario. The public site is running; the online booking engine is built and being readied to open to customers.
Homepage
Treatments
Spa & nails
Mobile
Problem
A new clinic opening in a competitive area needed to be findable and credible from day one — what it treats, what it costs, whether it direct-bills — while the fastest path to a first appointment is still a phone call it can actually answer.
Solution
A fast, mobile-first site that leads with the treatments, prices and the grand-opening offer, and puts the phone number in reach on every screen. The booking engine and admin platform are built and deployed alongside it, and will replace the phone-first path once the clinic is ready to run its calendar online.
My role
- Site and brand direction
- Content and service structure
- Front-end build
- Booking engine and admin build
- Local SEO setup
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
Shipping the site before the booking flow was the right call. A new clinic needs to be found this week; the booking engine can open when the front desk is ready to trust it, and until then a phone number that gets answered beats a form that does not.
Future improvements
- Open online booking to customers
- Connect the admin calendar
- Add reviewed multilingual content
- Refine reporting

Humanitarian Nonprofit Site · Custom WordPress Theme
A live site for a humanitarian organization working across Southeast Asia, on a WordPress theme written from scratch for it — so the team keeps the CMS they know without the template look.
Homepage
Our work
Photo gallery
Mobile
Problem
A humanitarian organization asking strangers for money has one job before any other: look like it can be trusted with it. Twenty years of clinics, water systems and disaster relief were sitting in folders, while an off-the-shelf charity template would have made the work look like everyone else's stock photography. The staff also needed to keep publishing themselves, which ruled out hand-coding the whole thing.
Solution
A WordPress theme written for this organization alone — its own templates, styles and a custom photo-gallery type, so field photographs are first-class content rather than blog attachments. The team gets the WordPress editor they already know; visitors get a site that looks like nobody else's, leads with the twenty-year record, and puts giving one tap away.
My role
- Theme design and build
- Custom post types and fields
- Content structure
- Donation flow
- Photo gallery system
- PWA and mobile
- Deployment and launch
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
Choosing WordPress here was the point, not a compromise. The staff publish weekly and were never going to learn a bespoke admin; writing the theme instead of buying one keeps that familiarity and still leaves nothing on the page that says "template".
Future improvements
- Add Burmese and Thai editions
- Report on programme outcomes
- Expand the gallery archive
- Continue performance passes
QR Studio — Free QR Code Generator
Free Web Tool · Bilingual · PWA
A free QR code generator that asks for nothing: no signup, no watermark, no upload — the code is made in your browser and never leaves it.
Generator
Chinese edition
Light theme
Mobile
Problem
Most free QR generators are a funnel. They mint a redirect through their own domain, so your code dies when they decide it should; they add a watermark, gate the useful settings, or want an account before you can download a PNG. For a shop printing a menu code, that is a landmine.
Solution
A single page that generates the code client-side. Colours, size, margin, corner radius, a border, and a logo dropped into the middle; download a PNG at print resolution. The QR encodes your text directly, so there is no redirect to expire, and nothing is uploaded anywhere — it works offline once loaded, and installs as an app.
My role
- Product idea and scope
- Interface design
- Front-end build
- Bilingual copy
- PWA and offline support
- Deployment
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
The whole pitch is what it does not do. Once the code is generated in the browser there is no server to bill for, no redirect to keep alive, and no reason to ask who you are — which is exactly why the free tools that do ask are structured the way they are.
Future improvements
- Add vector SVG export
- Batch generation from a list
- Wi-Fi and vCard presets
- Move to a permanent domain

My role
- Needs research
- Workflow mapping

Workflow map
Problem
Small teams repeat many writing and reporting tasks but cannot afford complex automation or risky hands-off systems.
Solution
Review-first workflows that prepare drafts and summaries while keeping a staff member responsible for every final action.
My role
- Use-case definition
- Workflow design
- Prompt and review planning
- Data boundary planning
- Prototype direction
Technologies
Key features
What I learned
A modest automation with a clear review point is often more useful and trustworthy than a fully autonomous workflow.
Future improvements
- Choose first pilot workflow
- Define privacy rules
- Measure time saved
- Add approval and audit history
