A native app to help non-verbal people communicate via text-to-speech. Users can create blocks with images and text, and when clicked, the app speaks the text.

I built this app for my nephew who uses it daily! I have some other users who found the app organically.

Developed a website for a bakery in Jordan to help advertise their products. The website has a CMS integrated which allowed her to change the menu whenever she wanted.

The website was running for 3 years before the client decided to take the website down to cut costs.

The designs were created by Premonday
