HI, I'M
ELEONOR! ✦
MADE OF
MANY TABS ♥
01 / THE PERSON

Not particularly interested in fitting inside one box.

By day, I work at the intersection of people, processes, technology, and change—turning complicated organizational problems into systems that actually work.

Outside of work, I build apps, make weird internet things, explore creative ideas, and bring people together. One project might help you figure out what your dog can eat. The next might revive your AIM away-message era.

Different projects. Same instinct: see a problem, get curious, make something.

03 / THE BUILDS
SIDE PROJECTS, REAL PRODUCTS

Things I've made.

Useful, unnecessary, nostalgic, occasionally chaotic. All independently imagined and brought to life.

04 / THE LAB

Under construction.
On purpose.

Ideas that don't fit neatly into a category. Some are prototypes. Some are just interesting questions waiting to become products.

Decouple.

Relationship offboarding, thoughtfully designed.

What if personal transitions had the same clarity, coordination, and care as a well-designed People Ops offboarding process? A concept exploring shared responsibilities, digital untangling, boundaries, and humane exits.

05 / THE INTERNET

Community is
a verb.

Beyond the apps and organizational charts, I'm a longtime participant in—and builder of—online tech communities. I love the strange magic of people finding each other over shared curiosity, humor, and ideas.

THE INTERNET IS BETTER WHEN WE MAKE THINGS, SHARE IDEAS, AND BRING PEOPLE ALONG.
