Children's App Designer
Creating developmentally appropriate digital experiences for young children. Designer of Peekaboo Barn and advocate for thoughtful children's technology.
Apps for Growing Minds
Seventeen years ago, a little girl inspired what would become Peekaboo Barn. That experience shaped my approach to designing apps that respect children's natural curiosity and developmental needs.
Driving her to visit colleges, I reflected on how the app landscape has changed. I still believe in creating digital experiences that prioritize child development over metrics and monetization. My work focuses on simple, joyful interactions that feel natural to young children.
This philosophy has guided the development of apps used by families worldwide, with particular success in special needs education and early childhood development.

Apps designed with children's development in mind
The app that started it all. A simple, joyful experience that teaches animal sounds and names through interactive play.
Activates the village of loving adults in a child's life to help build relationship skills, grow strong, and keep childhood joyful.
An interactive farm experience that expands on the original Peekaboo Barn, featuring new animals and activities.
Therapy built for families, providing specialized support for children and their caregivers.
How I approach children's app design
Understanding how children naturally interact with technology and what supports their development.
Creating interfaces that are intuitive for small hands and developing minds.
Observing real children use the apps and refining based on their natural behaviors.
"Children deserve digital experiences that respect their development, not exploit their attention."
Every interaction should support natural child development rather than maximize engagement.
No data collection, no ads, no in-app purchases. Just safe, pure play experiences.
The best children's apps feel like digital toys, not complex software.
