ideas I couldn't stop thinking about
This is where I work without guardrails. Some of these are fully built, some are still in that hazy middle ground where I'm not sure where they're headed. You'll find direct design to execution tools, Arduino experiments and interface ideas that came to me while waiting at the bus stop or staring at a tree.

Six pieces. Six design truths.
The more I learn chess, the more I keep seeing design in it. Each piece moves differently and somehow each one maps to something I've been thinking about at work. Click a piece to read the connection.
