UX Designer & Founder @Uplyft

About

UX designer, dad, and solo founder. I work full time as a UX/UI Designer and Strategist at Xero while building Uplyft on nights and weekends. 18 months in. No co-founder, no funding, no technical background. Just a designer who figured it out one tool at a time. I built Uplyft because I kept texting my kids "good luck" before games and knowing I could say something better. My goal is to help parents show up for their kids in the moments that matter most, and to take care of themselves along the way. Building in public. Sharing the whole story at uplyft.beehiiv.com

Built a family wellness app solo. No experience. Here's where I am.

UX/UI designer by day. App founder by night.

I built Uplyft, a motivational messaging app for parents and families. No co-founder, no backend experience, no real plan. Just Claude and a birthday launch date in July.

Got rejected from a pitch competition in 24 hours this week. Walked away with a one-pager.
