An idea takes shape

A little imagination.
A thoughtful digital home.

Bradford, Pennsylvania

A local point of view.

I wash dishes at Ka-bobs, noticed the website wasn’t working, and offered to build a new one in my spare time.

I’m Asa Cauvel. I use AI prompt engineering to turn ideas into website features, interactive art and useful tools for Ka-bobs at The Option House. The direction comes from people: what the restaurant needs, what guests find helpful and what makes this place feel like itself.

This is AI-assisted work. I direct the concepts, refine the details and review the results. The aim is a website that makes planning a meal or gathering easier while giving Bradford’s historic restaurant a little more personality.

How the experiences take shape
  • Art written in code. The mushroom, computer, light beam and peacock details use scalable vector drawings and animation, with replay controls and reduced-motion support.
  • Useful interactive tools. Catering presets and custom selections use guest-count validation, supplied package rates and a separate 18% tip calculation. The native inquiry form carries the selections to the restaurant.
  • Care for phone visitors. Responsive images, readable layouts and generous tap targets keep the experience usable on smaller screens.
  • Human direction with AI assistance. Prompt engineering, iteration and review connect creative ideas with the restaurant’s practical needs.

A few small excerpts show how the creative work connects to practical features.

Motion with a choice

This page respects a visitor’s reduced-motion preference and shows the finished illustration when animation is turned off.

const reduce = window.matchMedia(
  '(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)'
);
replay.disabled = reduce.matches;
if (reduce.matches) still();

Clear catering arithmetic

The catering tool calculates the 18% tip in cents from known food prices. Items that need a quote stay unpriced until the restaurant confirms them.

tipCents = knownSubtotalCents === null
  ? null
  : Math.round(
      knownSubtotalCents * 18 / 100
    );

A useful inquiry path

Menu selections travel to the restaurant’s event form. Guests review the details, add their contact information and choose when to submit; a date still needs confirmation.
