Founder-led digital studio

Real software,
built by the
person you talk to.

CHARPER is Chris Harper. Websites, applications, and internal tools — designed, built, and shipped end to end. No hand-offs, no account manager.

Oro & Alma

A family-business project: a mobile permanent-jewelry atelier that needed a storefront, a booking system, and a way to serve private events — all in one place.

Who it serves: clients booking appointments, and hosts running bridal, festival, and private-party events.

  • Collections browsable by chains, connectors, charms and gift cards, with live stock state and starting prices
  • Shopping bag and checkout, plus customer accounts and sign-in
  • Appointment booking and separate group-event booking
  • Event storefronts opened by a six-character code so guests can pre-order
  • Client waiver, reviews, inquiry forms and policy pages

TrophyRoom OS

My own product venture: a companion for meaningful golf events — the place an outing lives before, during, and after it is played.

A members-only product. The screens here are from my own account and test event — no other member's details appear.

  • A member home that pulls together current events, rounds in progress, GHIN index and a TrophyRoom index trend
  • An event workspace with setup checklist, registration counts, timeline and tee-time status
  • Live round scoring hole by hole, with an aerial hole view and running gross, net and standings
  • Members sign in to reach any event; everything past the front door is private to participants

What I build

Four kinds of work, one person doing it.

01

Websites

Marketing sites, storefronts, and landing pages with real structure and content you can maintain.

02

Web apps

Logins, dashboards, databases, and workflows — small products built properly.

03

Internal tools

The spreadsheet that outgrew itself: trackers, intake, admin views, reporting.

04

AI where it earns it

Drafting, summarizing, search, and assistants grounded in your own material.

How it works
01

Conversation

You describe the problem. I give an honest read on fit and scope.

02

Shape

A written plan: what gets built, in what order, and what it costs.

03

Build

You see the real thing early and often, not slide decks.

04

Hand-off

Domain, metadata, documentation — and it is yours to keep.

About

A studio the size of one.

I spent my career leading revenue teams, which means I have sat on the other side of a lot of software that did not fit the work. CHARPER is the correction: build the thing the business actually runs on, keep it small, and hand it over clean.

Tell me what you're trying to build.

A few sentences is enough to start. I'll come back with an honest read on fit, scope, and first steps.
