A business card that's also a circuit board.

01_TAP

Tap to share

An NFC chip is embedded right in the board. Tap it against any phone and it opens your portfolio, LinkedIn, or contact card — no app required.

02_GLOW

Powered by the tap itself

The optional LED draws its power from the same NFC field — no battery, nothing to charge. It just lights up for the second the phone is near.

03_GOLD

Real gold-plated contacts

Immersion-gold finish on a black soldermask board, the same process used on production electronics — not a sticker, not a print.

Questions

How long does it take to arrive?+

Each card is custom-made with your details, then fabricated and assembled in China before shipping. Budget about a month from order to delivery — production runs are batched, so exact timing depends on the queue.

Why only bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise?+

This is a small, independent shop run by one person — card processing isn't set up yet. All three options are free to use on your end.

Is payment required upfront?+

Yes — advance payment in full, since each card is fabricated to order and can't be resold if you change your mind partway through production.

Can I put anything I want on the card?+

Within reason — your name, title, a short bio, and contact links (email, GitHub, portfolio) are all customizable from the order form. Anything that wouldn't fit on a normal business card probably won't fit here either.
