The story wheel on Not Back Yet: a cream carnival wheel of 98 numbered segments on a dark stage

Not Back Yet

98 true travel stories, one spin away.

About this project

Spin a wheel of 98 true travel stories from the most remote places on the planet. Then browse every country Max and I have been to, with photos, maps, meals and stays. Learn more about our journey to visit every country in the world: 175 and counting, only 20 more to go.

WhyCurious minds want to hear about our travel journey and experiences. The spin wheel was created to make it easy and quick to pick a random travel happening to share on the fly.

Studio's Looks page: saved outfits laid out as flat-lay cards, each with its pieces

Studio

A digital closet that plans, packs and shops with you.

About this project

A digital closet, 500 pieces and counting. Catalog every item in your wardrobe, build outfits for an upcoming trip, help yourself pack, categorize outfits by dress code, save a shopping wishlist and price tracker, and ask "will it match?" from a fitting room.

WhyIt's impossible to be a travel nomad living out of a suitcase and also adjust back to the first world with style and class. A fast-paced life requires adaptation. A digital closet was created to help plan for upcoming special events and big trips, to remember what is already owned, to purchase logically based on what your closet needs, and to keep an eye on future closet additions.

Athenaeum shown on an iPhone: the deck list on a parchment page

Athenaeum

Trivia for the intellectually curious.

About this project

A personalized trivia and quiz game for the modern and intellectually curious lady. Quiz yourself on global flags, country capitals and the world's most buzzed-about art, test your knowledge of fine wine, refine your manners and social graces, learn a few words in a foreign language and keep your brain tuned in to world history. Almost 40 topics to browse instead of doom-scrolling on social media.

WhyA result of wanting to learn more about the bountiful world around us, the trivia app was created to encourage one to stay out of the mindless black holes of social media (and to curb the shopping a little bit!). Its uniqueness is its personalization: specifically created around topics and themes I'm curious about and areas I want to develop and grow into.

The Roper Family Archive: a family tree focused on Max Wade Roper with parents and grandparents

The Roper Family Archive

Twelve generations of Ropers, saved for good.

About this project

Twelve documented generations of Ropers, from a 1685 Paris parish and a Yorkshire hill farm to Culver City, California. Focus the tree on any relative, browse fan charts and the photo gallery, and read the research notes.

WhyBecause not much was known, documented, or centrally saved for the Roper family, this project helped organize the family history and inspire those who read it to know their ancestors. Saved for generations to come.
