Chef Vola's

Private, phone-first reservations

A phone-first reservation system for an exclusive Atlantic City restaurant — a cloned-voice phone line takes requests, and a calm iOS app lets chef Lou review availability and confirm every table by hand.

LocumTenens.com

Canonical UX reference

/about

I spent 15 years leading experience design at Slalom for Fortune 500 clients — framing ambiguous business problems and shipping validated product direction. Then I went hands-on.

At LocumTenens.com I directed AI coding agents to build the canonical prototype their production app now follows. Then I founded Idyll and built Chef Vola's — both end-to-end: strategy, design system, backend, and shipped app. The differentiator is the combination — director-level design plus the ability to architect and ship the product itself.
