Personal Project — T-Rex H2O
A pixel-art desktop water reminder — designed end-to-end, shipped to three platforms, built with AI on the engineering side.
00
Overview
T-Rex H2O is a personal end-to-end design exercise. I wanted a soft, cute pixel-art water reminder for someone I love — a small desktop friend who'd nag at intervals through the day. I designed the character, the scene, the hat collection, and the product flow: intervals, daily goal, glass tracker, reminder messages, hat unlocks. The implementation — Vite + React + Electron, packaged as installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux — was handled by Claude Code from my design brief.

01
The character
The character
A green pixel-art T-Rex with idle bob, randomized eye look, a tiny pink blush, and a hat slot. 26×22 pixels of squishy menace, drawn on a flat ASCII grid where each character maps to a palette colour.
02
The world
The world
A sun-drenched scene built around the T-Rex: animated sun, three drifting clouds, two parallax hill layers, a little wooden cottage, scattered pink flowers. All hand-set on the same pixel grid.
03
The wardrobe
The wardrobe
Six hats unlock as the user logs glasses over time: party hat at 0, crown at 5, top hat at 10, flower crown at 20, wizard hat at 40 — and a no-hat option for purists. Each designed to sit cleanly on the T-Rex's head silhouette.

Designed in claude.ai/design, handed off to Claude Code which implemented it as a Vite + React + Electron app. Public release on GitHub for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Made for someone I love — every reminder reads in my voice.
