Four steps: record a story, pick an illustration style, choose a narrator voice, and the book is ready.
"This one started at bedtime. My daughter would dream up stories and I'd write them down. I kept thinking — what if the story could come to life on its own?"
Tall Tales is an AI-powered storytelling app where children speak their stories aloud and watch them transform into fully illustrated, narrated storybooks. I built it from idea to functioning prototype over the past year — leading design, product, front-end development, AI model training, and brand creation.
The app combines speech-to-text, Claude for story refinement, custom-trained illustration models, and ElevenLabs for narration — all orchestrated into a seamless 4-step experience designed for children ages 3–8. Every story is unique, every book is theirs.
Currently in beta with 20 families, over 500 stories created. Launching soon on iOS and Android. Trademarked. LLC formed. Developer co-founder on board.
One year. One idea. Every layer of the product — designed, built, and shipped by me.
Four steps: record a story, pick an illustration style, choose a narrator voice, and the book is ready.
Beta tested with 20 families — watching kids use it for the first time is why this exists.
Token-based design system with semantic structure — linked live to code via Figma MCP.
Animations crafted to feel magical — built in code, not just prototyped.
