My Apps - Wendi Coffman Porter

My Developer Journey

If you had told me a few years ago that I'd become an app developer, I would've laughed, patted you gently on the arm, and suggested you drink more water. And yet—here I am, building apps with the same passion I've always poured into my stories and art.

AI opened a door I didn't even know existed. Suddenly I wasn't just imagining ideas—I could build them. One spark led to another, and before I knew it, I had a brand-new career growing right alongside my writing and illustration.

My very first app, Paws of Destiny, is about to launch. It's a playful tarot-style experience created for my daughter, and the moment it came to life, something clicked. I realized I'd found the perfect intersection of everything I love: creativity, storytelling, design, and the joy of making someone smile.

And now?

Now I have more ideas than hours in the day.

New projects keep knocking on my brain like overexcited puppies, each one begging to be adopted and turned into something real. So if app development, storytelling, or whimsical creativity is your thing, check back often—there will always be something new cooking here.

I never expected to become a developer, but it's quickly become one of my favorite adventures. It feels like all the different pieces of me—author, artist, dreamer, lifelong dog enthusiast—have finally merged into one unexpected, delightful path.

And I'm having a wonderful time building things that brighten someone's day.
