LisaGUI is a full recreation of the Lisa Office System user interface written from scratch in JavaScript. Currently, the alpha version is available to try. It is a fully featured (but unfinished and buggy!) web os with an IndexedDB-based filesystem. It also has its own custom 1-bit graphics engine which runs entirely in software and outputs to a single canvas element on the page.

LisaGUI lets users create, open, and edit files using a document-oriented workflow. There are a few built in applications, the most recent of which is a fully featured word processor called "LisaType". While it still has some missing features and bugs, I view it as a big step towards making LisaGUI genuinely useful. The typesetting system it uses was written from scratch, and I'm proud of how it turned out.

Aside from that, and a couple of demo apps (and a recreation of the Mac's puzzle desk accessory!) there isn't much else to do other than toy with the filesystem and settings. I do have more apps, features, and bug fixes in the pipeline. Follow the linked Bluesky account to get updates as soon as I post them, or if you're old-school check out the RSS feed.

Please note: obviously, this UI is not optimized for smartphones or very small displays.

lorie.gallery is an artwork portfolio website I developed from scratch for my grandmom, a professional artist with decades of experience. It was designed to mimic the aesthetics of a white-cube museum gallery. Artworks can be selectively viewed by choosing them from a grid-view of thumbnails. When displayed individually, each artwork is set within a prominent white border with metadata displayed below à la a gallery plaque. Starting from scratch allowed for full control over formatting without the excess overhead generated by a website builder.

The other component of this system is a portable editor utility. It modifies a local copy of the website which can be uploaded to any hosting provider. This editor allows individual gallery items to be created, modified, and reordered. It's based on a python script which handles file I/O and launches a GUI in a browser window.

I also created a separate instance of this gallery to host my own artwork. I do plan to eventually make this something anyone can download and personalize fairly easily, but it hasn't been a high priority for me because of the other projects I've been working on.

JPaint is a simple bitmap paint program in the vein of MacPaint and Microsoft Paint. It is written in Java using the Swing framework. This was a project for my GUIs class at Drexel. The image above, which I am using as a background for the JPaint website, was itself created with JPaint. You should be able to download and run the JAR file on any desktop PC with Java installed.

This digital book is a collection of design projects from my time in Drexel's architecture program (before I switched my major to computer science). The portfolio contains six comprehensive projects documented in detail, followed by a gallery of assorted renders and drawings. Each page of the PDF is a double-page spread. This is a large file ( ≈ 90 MB) and may take time to download. (If you have issues opening the file in a third party application, try using Adobe Acrobat Reader.)
