Turning a church’s content into a conversation
A conversational AI product I conceived, designed, branded, and built end to end — it turns a church’s existing sermons, articles, and ministries into a guided experience, so people find the right next step by asking, not searching.

An iOS app that quietly runs the household
A native iOS app I designed and built from the ground up — it learns a household, generates a fair chore schedule, adapts as life changes, and makes the whole thing feel warm instead of administrative.

Creativity is the point.
I’m Isaiah Short, a web and graphic designer and the person behind Blackweb Studio. I started out in church communications, where design was never about just looking good — every website, graphic, and campaign had a job to do, and real people to connect with.
Dozens of websites later, one thing hasn’t changed: I love making things — and I don’t want to make another one that looks like it came from the same template as everyone else in your industry.
