Savor

A camera roll becomes a trip you can search, revisit and share. Savor reads the photos, works out where you were, and hands back the trip assembled by place: every stop in order, collections that make themselves, the dish you had, and Mira, an assistant that answers from your own memories.

How I build

For most of my career I worked with design tools like Sketch, Figma and Miro, with research data behind every decision: interviews, journeys, prototypes tested with users. With Savor, I changed how I work, and AI is what made the change possible. Over the past six months I have built more with Claude Code than I would have thought possible, and what I test now is the product itself, with the change I just made. Real data at all times, and far more scenarios than I could ever have prototyped. Design tools did not go away. I open Figma less often, but when I do it is to explore or refine something I cannot yet explain in words, before the change goes into the product.
