FIG. 01 — WIREFRAME STUDY, VERMILLION ON BONE
prologue

I’m an engineer and designer who builds at the seam between software and craft. The work runs wide on purpose — iOS apps, web platforms, hardware and medical devices, printed matter, and things made by hand — because I’ve never thought the discipline should decide the problem. Like water, I take the shape of whatever I’m trying to solve.

What holds it together is structure. A line of code, a folded brochure, a thermometer’s housing, a calendar’s grid — I’m after the same thing each time: a clear system, an honest line, and only as much ornament as the work can earn. I’d rather a thing be quietly right than loudly clever.

This site is arranged like a designer’s monograph — each piece filed in an index rather than a gallery. Hover a line to read its margin note; follow the arrow to its full record.

Glovebox

Glovebox is the glovebox you wished your car came with — a place where every fuel stop, service receipt, VIN, manual page and "when's the next oil change?" question lives in one tidy folder on your phone. It works without signal, syncs when you have one, and never asks for anything it doesn't need.
