The world keeps changing. So should the way we learn, explore, and connect. I'm Magic Lawrence. Let me show you what I've been building.

I created Magic Math Lab because struggling with math shouldn't mean being left behind. Explore the calculators. Choose light or dark mode. Work through an example, one clear step at a time. The goal is confidence.

I built Sunavero because starting college can be confusing. Not everyone has the same technical skills, or someone to help. Explore majors and classes, and prepare questions for an advisor. Find links to food support, housing, financial help, tutoring, and wellbeing. Read sourced stories about people who kept going through difficult beginnings. An important decision deserves a clearer starting point, and support for the life that comes with it.

I made Magic Almanac to counter negative news, with sourced stories of discovery, care, and hope.

There is room for wonder, too. Watch the Moon change through its phases.

Pause at the Reflection Fountain. A quiet moment to set something down.

Then open the Meridian Heart, and let curiosity become an experience.

Welcome… to the new portfolio.

01 Learning tools

Magic Math Lab

Different minds. Different ways to learn.

It started with my own learning needs. I made a place where students can work through a problem one clear step at a time, with visual explanations, calculators and guided practice.

Probability practice: the table contains 72 red cars out of 130 cars. The guide identifies the whole group before the calculation. — Finding P(red car): 72 red cars out of 130. Name the whole group before doing the arithmetic.

02 College planning tool

Sunavero

A clearer place to start.

Starting college can be confusing, especially when you do not have someone to help. Sunavero helps first time college students explore majors, prepare advisor questions and find support for the life around school.

Good news deserves a beautiful place to live.

Magic Almanac brings together sourced stories of discovery, care and hope with a world built for pause, curiosity and the Moon.

Skills

How I bring ideas to life.

My work combines product strategy, audience value and practical delivery. Each project starts with a real need and improves through research, feedback and close review.

Product strategy

I define the problem, who the product serves and the priorities that give it a clear purpose.

Audience value

I connect a real need with a useful experience, whether someone is learning, planning a next step or exploring.

Evidence based decisions

I use research, feedback and close review to question assumptions and decide what needs to change.

Scope and resource planning

I weigh scope, cost and quality so effort stays focused on the parts that matter most.

Creative direction

I connect story, visual identity and interaction so the experience feels like one coherent idea.

Concept to delivery

I set the brief, coordinate the work, review the result and carry an idea through to a shareable experience.

The projects shown here are a selection from a wider body of web tools, mobile experiences and interactive concepts.

The person behind the work

Curiosity becomes something people can use.

Studying business has sharpened how I connect a real need with a clear value proposition: who an experience serves, why it matters and how it should work.

I bring product strategy, creative direction and evidence based decision making together, then coordinate the work from concept to delivery.
