Hi, I’m Jasmine. I’m an AI consultant in Austin, but that is only the newest answer to what I do. I have been at a computer since I was four, spent a few years studying game design, six years working in operations, and most of my free time making art, organizing ideas, planning experiences, or following a new curiosity.
For a long time, those interests felt like separate parts of my life.
I have always been an organizer, and it started far from spreadsheets. My systems showed up in carefully kept journals, optimized routines, health experiments, event plans, and whatever small improvement could make everyday life run more smoothly. Call it optimization or laziness, I have always looked for the easier way to do something well.
Professionally, that instinct took me through executive support, procurement, inventory, vendor management, and eventually two years running a dealership parts department. I became the person coworkers brought the mess to, whether it was a stack of purchase orders that had become difficult to track or something that simply needed to be organized and carried through. I enjoyed creating order, but the relationships around the work mattered to me just as much.
When I began building software with AI coding agents, the creative and organizational parts of my brain finally had somewhere to meet. I loved shaping the idea, directing the build, and witnessing the project truly come into its own. For the first time, the kid who grew up at a computer, the would-be game designer, the artist, and the organizer all felt like parts of the same person.
I have ADHD. Without a clear system, I forget things, switch tasks too often, and lose focus. I build systems because I know exactly what happens when I go without one.
Lumen Daily began because my life was scattered across five apps and about as many journals. The system meant to support my life had become another thing to manage, so I built one place that could remember, track, and organize things with me.
Eventually, I realized I had stopped testing it and started depending on it. It was helping every day and had made a real difference in my relationships and other unexpected parts of my life. Around that time, I heard someone describe needing almost exactly what I had built: one central life manager without the friction of juggling several apps. My immediate thought was, wait, I built that, and I built it well. That was when it became real that I could build more of these for people who needed them.
Most of what I build is an attempt to stop wasting time on repetition, and on the exhausting job of carrying everything in your head.
For me, true care is found in the details. It is about noticing where someone might struggle and designing a solution that makes their path easier. I’ve always been driven by a desire to make things better, and I can be incredibly stubborn when I see a clear way forward. Creating and building give that drive a meaningful place to live.
I’ve long gone by Jasmine Tea online, making "The Jasmine Blend" the natural home for every side of who I am, and whatever project comes next.
Outside of work, I am almost always following some new curiosity, whether it leads me to an art project, a game, a wellness experiment, or a trip through a city I have never seen. That same curiosity is also why I have wanted to create content for years, though getting comfortable on camera has always been the hard part. I am working on it, so you may see more of me here eventually. I tend to bring pieces of those experiences home with me: photographs and little objects that might look ordinary to someone else, but feel inseparable from where I found them, and worth keeping. Maybe that is also why I enjoy planning the occasional gathering for women around Austin. I simply love creating the kind of moments people want to carry with them.
