how I build

four steps, on repeat

Most ideas begin with something that feels unnecessarily difficult, fragmented or completely missing.

I turn the idea into something tangible: a prototype, website, workflow, archive, tool or working product.

I put it in front of real people, see what they use and learn what the idea actually wants to become.

The strongest experiments can become products, partnerships, companies or intellectual property in their own right.

got one of these in your head too?
