Family-First Software

A dad who builds things
for the people he loves

Every app starts with someone in the family. A problem to solve, a moment to share, a little thing to make life easier. Technology is just another way to show up.

It started with Family

My daughter is a graphic designer. Figma, Adobe, brand work—she’s been at it for six years and she’s genuinely talented at what she does. She knows color theory, typography, layout. She can take a vague brief and turn it into something beautiful.

But when she started looking for remote design work, she ran into the same problem every specialist does: the job platforms didn’t understand her. She’d spend hours scrolling through listings—sorting, filtering, reading descriptions that sounded promising but never quite matched what she actually does.

So her dad did what her dad does. He built something. A Job Monitor; an AI-powered tool that scores remote design jobs against her exact profile—her skills, her experience, her preferences. It finds the jobs worth her time so she can spend her time on what she’s actually good at.

It started as a tool for one person. But that’s how every project starts around here.

I’m not the creative one. But I watched the creative one spend hours sorting through jobs that were never going to fit.

Emily’s Job Monitor

AI-powered remote design job matching. Built for one designer. Useful for many.

Built for family,
shared with everyone

Every project here was built for a specific person or moment. If they help your family too, even better. Not all of these are available online just yet, but they are on the way.

“Every app starts when someone I love has a problem I can solve.”

This isn’t a software company. There’s no roadmap, no sprint planning, no stakeholder meetings. There’s just a dad—and a granddad—who happens to know his way around code (a little), using what he knows to help the people he cares about.

Some dads coach Little League. Some dads build treehouses. This dad builds apps. It’s not about shipping products or growing a user base. It’s about showing up. When Emily needed a better way to find work, the answer wasn’t advice—it was a tool. When the grandkids want storytime, the answer isn’t just reading a book—it’s building something where they get to be part of the story.

Technology, at its best, is just another way to say “I love you.”

Built with love, from my family to yours.

Scott Price

The Creative Dad

Dad Granddad Builder Not a Designer

Scott is a builder, not a designer. He’ll be the first to tell you that. The “creative” in The Creative Dad isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about finding creative solutions to the everyday problems his family runs into.

Some dads have a woodworking shop in the garage. Scott has a code editor and an unreasonable willingness to stay up late solving problems that nobody asked him to solve. The difference is, his projects don’t collect sawdust—they run on phones and laptops and make life a little easier for the people around him.

Dad. Granddad. Builder of things that matter for the people who matter. That’s the whole story.
