Ideas don't ship themselves.

The Portfolio

Real products.
Really shipped.

Every app below is designed, built, and shipped by this studio — each with its own brand, all of them one body of work.

The Model

One founder.
A full pipeline.

DOE Studios runs on an AI-native operating model: Claude in the design room, Replit in the build room, and one founder making every call. No committees. No handoffs. Just reps.

01

Concept & system design

Positioning, product spec, monetization, and brand — documented before a line of code.

02

Interactive prototype

A working flow you can touch in days — the feel gets approved before the build begins.

03

Build & integrate

React Native + Expo, secure auth, subscriptions, and Claude-powered intelligence inside the product.

04

Ship & iterate

App Store submission, launch ops, and weekly iteration — shipping is the beginning, not the finish line.

"The portfolio is a human operating system — one app for each part of a person's inner and outer life. Focus. Money. Community. Composure. Love. Wonder."

The DOE Studios thesis
Client Work

The pipeline that ships our products can ship yours.

Select client engagements, taken when the calendar allows — built with the same system, the same standards, and the same urgency.

S/01

Mobile app development

Native-feel iOS and Android with React Native + Expo — from architecture to App Store approval.

S/02

AI product integration

Claude-powered features inside your product: assistants, intelligent flows, and engines that feel like magic and behave like software.

S/03

Design & prototyping

From napkin sketch to a clickable, on-brand prototype in days — so decisions get made on the real thing.

S/04

MVP sprints

A shippable v1, scoped honestly: the smallest product that proves the idea and earns the next build.

The Why

Built from the inside out.

This studio didn't start with a market report. It started with introspection — a founder turning his own life over in his hands and finding software inside it. Every app here began as something lived first: a lesson learned the hard way, a season survived, a question carried until it became an answer. The mission has never changed — pull from within, build what you find, and share the gift with the world. Detroit taught the rest: grit, reinvention, and shipping anyway.
