App Builder

After learning how to build apps for clients, I took a break to make one of my own. Welcome to Smiles & Frowns®, an iOS app I designed to help parents and teachers create positive behavior plans for their kids.

Take a peek at this (almost five star!) effort that has been gaining traction around the world, plus a few other apps and demos I've helped create along the way.

Smiles & Frowns® is more than just an app – it's a new approach to behavior plans, built around what I called (and trademarked) the "5Cs of Positive Reinforcement." All of the features serve the ideals of Clarity, Consistency, Collaboration, Consequence and a game-like sense of Challenge. It's based on a physical rewards chart I created for my three kids – you can read about it here – and now it’s used worldwide.

Something about strong Belgian beer and seeing things that just aren't there seemed a natural. So we partnered with Metaio–the engine behind Apple's future AR efforts–to create an app that made posters, coasters and even 30-year-old images of the Chouffe gnomes come to life to tell the story of the beer.

Michelob Ultra Golf App demo

The are golf apps out there, but there is nothing quite like the Ultra App. The idea wasn't to out-Nike Nike, but to add some Ultra fun – like including skins games – for the Ultra Life.

Universal Ticket App demo

Movie night is just that... a whole night out. It's easy to see how all the pieces are ready and waiting to make the experience more complete.
