INDEPENDENT PRODUCT STUDIO
From finding a time to meet to deciding what to eat, small everyday frustrations often spark new ideas.
Marumade is where I turn those ideas into working products, put them in people's hands, and keep making them better.
01 / SELECTED WORK
Products that started as small ideas and continue to evolve through real use.
ufree/ 2026
WEB SERVICE · LIVE
Coordinating schedules shouldn't mean asking everyone the same question over and over.
ufree lets people share their availability through a single link and find a time that works for the group. No accounts. No unnecessary steps.
CherryPick/ 2026
AI · CONTENT · LIVE
There's no shortage of news. Understanding why a story matters is the harder part.
CherryPick is a daily briefing service designed to help readers make sense of what's happening. It selects ten key stories each day and goes beyond the headlines to explain the context behind them. Less noise. More understanding.
Mwomeok/ 2026
APP · LIFESTYLE · LIVE
A simple question that somehow takes forever to answer.
Mwomeok makes choosing what to eat a little easier and a lot more fun. Get suggestions from a friendly Shiba Inu, explore different dishes, and discover places nearby.
02 / HOW I WORK
Sometimes a feature that seemed essential turns out to be unnecessary. Sometimes people struggle with something I thought was obvious.
That's why I pay attention to what happens after a product goes live.
Where do people get stuck? What do they come back for? What could be simpler?
I keep what works, rethink what doesn't, and learn from the people using what I've made.
I'm still figuring plenty of things out. That's part of the process.
An idea only goes so far. What matters is how it works for real people.
03 / ABOUT
I build things inspired by the little frustrations I run into every day.
I work across product planning, design, and development. After launching something, I pay attention to how people use it and figure out what to improve next.
My projects cover different areas, but I tend to ask the same questions. Is it easy to understand? Does it solve a real problem? Would someone want to use it again?
Marumade is where I bring those projects together and share what I learn along the way.
