A personal space, with room to grow
Why I’m making a place to keep projects, questions, and the thinking that connects them.
01 / THE REASON
Some work needs more room
Professional experience has a familiar shape: a role, a few responsibilities, a list of things delivered. It helps someone understand where I’ve worked. The questions that lead me to build something in my own time need a little more space.
An interaction I want to understand. A small tool I want to try making. A connection between engineering and design that becomes clearer when I can put it on a screen. I wanted somewhere to follow those threads and share what comes of them.
02 / THE WORK
Keep the thinking with the thing
A finished project shows what an idea became. The decisions along the way explain why it took that shape: what mattered, what got in the way, and what changed after trying it.
That is what I want to keep here. A project can have a working result and still leave a question open. Writing about it gives me a reason to look at those choices again, and gives someone else a way into the work beyond a screenshot or a list of technologies.
03 / FIELD NOTES
A useful observation is enough
Some ideas will become projects. Others will stay as notes about technology, design, or AI: something I noticed, something I tried, or a question I can explain more clearly after spending time with it.
Calling them field notes leaves room for that. Each piece can be specific about what I learned without pretending the subject is settled. Together, they can show how my thinking develops as I make things.
04 / A STARTING POINT
Build something worth coming back to
The Lab puts the work and the notes beside each other. A project can lead to a closer look at one detail; a note can become the starting point for another experiment. My background has a home in About, while this part of the site can follow the work as it happens.
The website is the first example. It gives me a place to publish, and building it gives me something to investigate. The project page explains how it fits together. Structures in motion takes one part of it apart: the drawings that move behind these pages.
This opening note sets the direction. What comes next will give it substance.
