One Tool A Week
I’m Richard, a UX designer building internal tools with AI.
Most companies drown in inefficiency not because they lack engineers, but because no one owns the small, high-leverage tools that make work actually work.
I’m building one internal tool a week to prove a point: most business problems don’t need a vendor, a 6-month roadmap, or a $50K budget. They need someone who listens, builds fast, and iterates.
This is my portfolio. My proof. My pitch.
Say hello if you want to talk. Here are some of my written thoughts on AI, design, and building.
