Bar Hop Game
- Present
Bar Hop is a modern take on the classic arcade challenge. Tilt the metal to guide a ball through a field of holes, but only one hole is the right one. The rules are simple: get the ball into the glowing green hole to advance. Drop it into a wrong hole and you lose a life. As you progress, the challenge grows. Holes appear in trickier positions, safe paths narrow, and precision becomes everything.

We help low-income brain cancer patients and their families with the cost of traveling to seek the best medical treatment possible, providing gas cards for fuel purchases, reserving and paying for hotel rooms and making sure they do not go hungry. We also aid low income-patients with paying medical bills for services provided at cancer treatment facilities and providing financial assistance to caregivers of patients who are in the final stages of their battle with cancer. If the treatment being received and condition of the patient allows, we also try to finance memorable family vacations, handling all aspects of planning the trip.

What is happening in Design? (its everywhere but no one is hiring)... According to this Fast Company article these are the highest paid. First are Product Designers topping out at over $400k+, then UX just under that as a cap followed by Game Designers, Architects, and running parallel are Graphic Design, Interior Design and Urban Design.

Most designers aren't using AI wrong. They're using it too small. Swapping AI into one step of your existing workflow and calling it a transformation is like replacing one gear in a broken clock. The clock still doesn't tell time. Here's the shift I've actually made: 🧱Traditional design workflow exists for a reason — lo-fi wireframes, journey maps, flow diagrams before anything high-fidelity. The logic is sound: use cheap methods to align early, avoid expensive mistakes later. The entire premise is cost asymmetry. But when you can vibe code a working, clickable prototype in roughly the same time it takes to build a lo-fi, that asymmetry collapses. The rationale for the preparatory steps doesn't disappear — it just needs to be re-examined. I now go from rough product direction straight into Claude Code, and skip several stages I used to treat as non-negotiable. 🔮The micro-interaction piece is undersold. Doing this in Figma means dozens of artboards, prototype arrows that look like spaghetti, and touching seven frames every time one state changes. Most designers — myself included — quietly give up and write "hover effect here, see reference" in a comment. Vibe coding a connected, interactive demo instead? One working prototype does more communicating than any handoff doc. 🧠But the change I didn't expect — and think about most — is what prompting does to your thinking. When you have to articulate a vague idea precisely enough for a model to act on it, the gaps in your own reasoning become impossible to ignore. Edge cases, mental models, interaction boundaries — you end up designing in a more disciplined way not because you intended to, but because the process forces it. This is the part that doesn't show up in before/after screenshots, but it's where I've felt the most actual change. - 👉Let's be honest: AI won't just assist designers — it will redefine what a designer is responsible for. The role is being rewritten either way. You can be the one holding the pen, or you can find out after the fact.
