Meet Quay

Hey, I’m Quay.
I’m a mom, a product marketer, and a maker.

This year, I gave myself a challenge:

But this isn’t a startup story.
It’s something way more personal.

You've seen it before, especially in celebrity culture and on TikTok:

But the term snapback is rooted in unrealistic, toxic pressure to look a certain way in a certain time frame.

Every conversation focuses on physical recovery. But not enough people ask, how is this person handling

For me, postpartum recovery wasn’t about my body. It took several years to realize that I hadn’t quite recovered yet. Four years later, I’m just now finding the time and balance to rebuild the parts of myself that got buried:

After a tiny crash out, I started making things again.

And suddenly, I had much more time. I used it to find my passions again.

So I sewed and crafted while watching Drag Race.
I found ways to make dinner faster and with more variety.
I rebuilt my hair routine after postpartum shedding.

And I realized: the systems I was building for myself could help other people, too.

So I started turning them into apps.

Every problem became a project.
Every project became a prototype.
Chatting with my friends about my favorite shows birthed Reality Rank, Bowl Spinner was born from the day day I reorganized and itemized my pantry, Wash Day had an untouched wireframe sitting in my hard drive since February 2020. And now? Those three prototypes are becoming real, testable tools.

This project is my snapback.
Not to a body but to a self.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing:

But for now, I’m starting here:

Just one post.
Just one promise.
Just one woman reclaiming her spark, after putting her son to bed.

I don’t want to be making content.
But I need users. I need feedback.
I need to get better.

So I’m showing up.

If this resonates and if you’re reclaiming parts of yourself too, I’d love for you to join me.
Tell me your snapback story.

We’re building silly apps to grow serious skill.
