Sam Zamor / Design, build, automate
Most of my ideas die on purpose.
I'm an Okanagan-based product designer and front-end developer. I design the ideas that survive, code them into real web products, and wire up the automation behind them, usually on my own.
About
“I'd rather cut a feature than explain it.”
- 01
End to end (what I do)
I design the interface, build the front-end, and lately the tooling behind it. No design-to-dev handoff, because I'm usually both.
- 02
Earned taste (why trust me)
Twenty-five years of shipping means I've made most of the mistakes already. The strong opinions I hold now are just the ones that survived being wrong.
- 03
Built for here (why me)
I build for a place, not a persona. Great internet, mediocre local tools, so I make a few of them myself.

Past clientVisit ↗
Innovise
A boutique software agency where senior engineers do the work themselves. No juniors, no account managers, no handoffs. A clean, direct brand and site to match a clean, direct promise.
ClientVisit ↗
OKLetsGo
A local's guide to the Okanagan, the events, spots, and weekend plans the other apps kept getting wrong. Built it for my own valley first, then left it up for everyone else's.
LiveVisit ↗
Lynxlabs
A Canadian research-peptide store built documentation-first: public COAs, batch traceability, and product pages that lead with proof, not marketing. A large catalog wrapped in a clean, credible storefront.
ClientVisit ↗
Keepsayk
A heart-shaped caged pendant with a micro drive at its core, holding one file, a video, a letter, and nothing else. The only copy on earth, worn around your neck.
In developmentVisit ↗
Northern Compound
An independent Canadian publication covering research peptides, hundreds of careful, reviewed articles that educate instead of sell. Built to read like a journal, not a supplement ad.
ClientVisit ↗
Chatatouille
An AI cooking assistant I built with a partner. Tell it what's in your fridge, or show it, and it walks you through a restaurant-quality dish completely hands-free.
Co-builtVisit ↗
Airways
Modern maintenance software for aircraft owners and MROs. Track inspections, manage work orders, and stay airworthy. A hangar's worth of compliance paperwork pulled into one platform.
In developmentVisit ↗
GD
The Discord graphic-design community I built: 50,000+ designers, seven years running, one of the oldest and most respected on the platform. Peer-ranked, with a marketplace, contests, and no gatekeeping.

An app that turns idle scrolling into research. AI scans Indie Hackers, Reddit, and top podcasts each day, then hands you a swipeable stack of real businesses making real money.
PersonalVisit ↗

A real-estate and lifestyle brand for the Tel Aviv area, neighborhood guides, local listings, and the on-the-ground detail that tells you what it's actually like to live there.
Client
Tablecast

How I work
How I actually work
No framework. Just the loop I run most weeks, and where it usually humbles me.
