A LIVING ARCHIVE
OF DESIGN, FILM,
WRITING &
EXPERIMENTS
A secondary collection of product design studies, visual systems, essays, videos, film projects, and process work — built as a wider map of my creative practice beyond the main portfolio.
SELECTED
SIDE WORK
Smaller projects, prototypes, and experiments that show how I think across interfaces, storytelling, systems, and visual culture.
I'm a RISD-trained product designer exploring human-centered systems through interfaces, storytelling, visual culture, and emerging technology. This archive collects the side projects, studies, fragments, and experiments that don't belong in a tightly edited case-study portfolio — but still shape how I think and make.

Field Notes
Short essays and observations on design, media, technology, creative process, and systems thinking.
Polished case studies compress months of thinking into a tidy narrative. Side projects resist that compression — they stay weird, partial, and honest. This note argues for keeping a protected space where work is allowed to be unfinished. Full essay coming soon.
Read note → coming soonA screen is a shot. A flow is a sequence. Borrowing pacing and reveal from cinema gives products rhythm — moments of tension, release, and atmosphere instead of flat utility. Full essay coming soon.
Read note → coming soonInstead of folders of dead files, an archive can behave like an operating system: projects as processes, fragments as memory, tags as threads connecting work across years. Full essay coming soon.
Read note → coming soonBeautiful surfaces are easy to admire and easy to misuse. This note collects observations on designing for real bodies, real constraints, and real fatigue — from screens to steering systems. Full essay coming soon.
