The things I’m building

Different rabbit holes.
Same curious mind.

A PERSON BEHIND THE PIXELS

Chris ClineFounder & maker, Clinewise

Hello, I’m Chris.

A maker. A few obsessions.
Plenty of ideas.

I’m drawn to the little frictions in things I care about. Family life scattered across apps. A game night lost to choosing a game. A good story that deserves to be remembered.

Clinewise is a home for exploring those ideas, building something useful, and sharing the process along the way.

A little more about me

The common thread

Made with intention.

Different products, a few shared instincts.

01 / PEOPLE FIRST

Start with something real.

A familiar frustration. A meaningful connection. A little more joy. The problem comes before the feature list.

02 / THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN

Make room for control.

Help people understand their choices, their information, and the tools they use. Explain the tradeoffs plainly.

03 / STAY CURIOUS

Leave space for play.

Sometimes the best way forward is a prototype, an unexpected connection, or a wonderfully strange idea.
