What you can build with AI has changed.
Here's proof.
That distinction changes everything about how you build. These are the apps I've shipped testing that thesis. Each one a proof point for a different part of the framework I'm developing. Live projects, real users, honest process.

Learn with me
I started shipping my own products to test ideas I couldn't fully explore in client work. What I didn't expect was how much the process itself would teach me about where AI genuinely accelerates building and where it quietly degrades it. This page is that process made visible.
Design is how I navigate complexity and align everyone around what matters most.
When users, decision-makers, and strategy are in sync, growth follows.
Live builds
Every project below is live and clickable (mostly ;) ). No mockups or case studies, just real products at various stages of traction. Creds if needed: brian@lanierdesign.com | password123

I write about what I'm learning as I build. Where AI actually helps, where it doesn't, and the framework emerging from all of it. No polish, just honest process.
