Built by Mike

A few things I’ve made.

I design and build tools around the way people actually work. Here are two image engines: one for SeenMade, and one built for 4K Media.

What I build
SeenMade Motion Engine’s actual canvas interface with connected image workflow nodes

An image workflow I can shape.

I’m building SeenMade’s creative workspace to connect references, image generation and edits on one canvas. It keeps the steps visible, so I can review a result and change what comes next.

From a brief to an image.

I built 4K Media a branded image tool: add a brief and references, choose a format, then generate and download. Recent images stay easy to find. Shown here with demo content.

AND... ACTION
