Rowhouse is a fictional project-management tool built to explore how a kanban board could feel less like enterprise software and more like a shared studio wall. The brief I set myself: teams of 3–12 people, no seat tiers, no admin console — just boards and drag.

A board you can actually drag

The hero doesn't show a screenshot of the product — it is the product. Task cards are pointer-draggable between lanes, so the first thing a visitor does is use the core interaction.

Warm, not corporate

Project-management tools default to blue-on-white. I paired a soft paper-blue base with marmalade orange and moss green to keep it warm and human.

Mono for structure, sans for voice

JetBrains Mono marks task IDs and lane labels — anything structural. Everything a human wrote, like titles and copy, stays in Inter.

As a portfolio piece, Rowhouse was where I worked out a drag-and-drop interaction from scratch using native Pointer Events rather than a library — reusable groundwork for real product work.
