Past business
See the work
It started at the breakfast table.
Breakfast kids want.
Nutrition parents trust.
The oldest of ten kids, I saw it every morning: the breakfasts kids loved were the ones parents doubted. Spryful closes that gap.

The answer was in the empty space.
The toy rides beside the food.
Never in it.
A 4-pack carrier with a sealed prize chamber in the empty space between the cups.
One pack. Almost any food.
Built for oatmeal. Fits breakfast, snacks, sweets and drinks.
Spryful is paused while I raise funding. The patent keeps moving.
Brand names in the concept renders are illustrations only. Licensing talks with Mattel were exploratory; no deal signed.
Next, I looked up.
Skysta
Know tonight's sky before you go.
- Sky Score from 0 to 100 for every sunrise and sunset.
- 270 hand‑checked public viewing spots.
- Golden hour, blue hour, last colour, to the minute.
- Photo sharing and a personal photo journal.
