NTX Wraps custom website featuring wrap services and an estimate request form

NTX Wraps

Experience + engineering

A custom website for an Argyle wrap shop. Service pages, vehicle galleries, and a clear estimate flow turn the work into the sales pitch.

Next.js · TypeScript · SupabaseLive
My contribution

Design and development across the public site and business admin, including service pages, galleries, estimate requests, review syncing, and ongoing local SEO. Built for a shop whose work needs to speak for itself.

Baja Quesadilla

Brand + physical design

An identity that leaves the screen. Vehicle graphics, packaging, stickers, and print pieces with a consistent visual language.

Identity · Large format · Print productionSelected work
My contribution

Brand applications and production artwork across the food trailer, business cards, contour-cut stickers, liners, and patterns. Work moves from the initial concept through print preparation and vendor-ready files.

Nelbound print and signage website with its yellow wordmark

Nelbound

Brand + commerce

My print brand, built from identity to interface. A custom catalog connects banners, signage, and wraps to a quote-driven experience.

Brand direction · Next.js · SupabaseOwn venture
My contribution

I created the brand and built the site, product catalog, quote flow, and admin tools. A meeting point for the digital systems I develop and the physical work I produce.

Three TypeStrip iPhone screens: sign in, scan history, and output options

TypeStrip

Product + iOS

A privacy-first iOS app that pulls text out of images with on-device OCR. Capture, review, and export in seconds, with no cloud round trip.

iOS · On-device OCR · Product designOn the App Store
My contribution

I led the product from concept through execution: UX flows, visual design, and interaction patterns. The experience is reduced to three steps, capture, review, and export, across a handful of core screens with a single linear flow.

Const.Elate website with its blue pixel wordmark and star field

Const.Elate

Developer tools + interaction

A character sheet for your AI coding setup. A terminal interface turns Claude Code skills, context, and configuration into an explorable constellation.

Go · Bubble Tea · Next.jsOwn project
My contribution

I designed and built the terminal tool and its companion website. The interface borrows from RPG skill trees, with keyboard navigation, a character sheet, and a session ledger. It edits the files Claude Code already uses, with previews and backups for changes.

Jack, usually making something.

02 / About

Design. Code. Make.

I’m Jack, a creative technologist based in Grapevine, Texas, and the founder of Signal & Form.

I work across websites, software, identity, and print. I like following an idea all the way through: shaping how it looks, building how it works, and getting it out into the world.

Through Signal & Form, I work with North Texas businesses. Through my own products, I explore useful tools and unexpected interactions. I’m interested in collaborators and roles that bring design and technology together.
