About

Hi There! I'm a queer New Yorker that hails from farmtown Ohio. I spent a good portion of my life as a dancer here in the city while working in the fashion photography industry by day. A few years of school lead me into a career as a graphic design and creative director and product design. More recently I've taken to "grabbing life by the horns" and wadded into the waters of Product Development and have just sent my first solo-developed web app loric.ai, an image and video generation app that gives user a whole new set of tools to move beyond making short AI slop and bring about the future of AI Long-Format Video Production. I'm a big book nerd too and recently completed my first zero draft of a Sci-Fi/Biopunk/Solarpunk novel.

This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina.

New to Product Dev, Just made My Product Live and NOW I Learn About Product Hunt...Whoa

Hi Everyone,
I've just shipped my very first solo-developed projects coming from a history as a designer, photo director, and dancer. While I'd heard about Product Hunt before...I sort of forgot about it until 30 minutes ago.
I built my web app just concerned about the 'get it working' part and leaving the 'how will I get users' for another day. That day has come. I'm very curious to get to know other makers/founders, especially those who have gone the journey solo. And from the veteran community members What do you most recommend for someone getting their feet wet in Product Hunt. What are the big differences between being a maker and a hunter versus being a maker looking for a hunter? Is one way more ideal than the other?
Looking forward to connecting and pouring over the community posts for advice. I feel like I'm punching above my weight and all the support is greatly appreciated.
My app: loric.ai and Image and Video Generation Toolkit with all the top models and workflows to help creators move from short format slop to long-format cinematic productions. #makeyourownmovies
Many thanks and love to you all!

The Real Challenge Isn’t Shipping. It’s Getting People to Care.

I used to think the hardest part of building a product was building the product.

Turns out, creating superfans is harder.

The real challenge is getting people to love your product:
