Field Notes

Field Notes

Essays and build journals from the studio.

• Leading by Making — Why I believe the best creative directors stay close to the craft, and why I'm pursuing a Principal track over pure management.
• Tools I Use and Love — The hardware, software, and analog things that show up across everything I make. This list will grow.
• The Mutant Vehicle — Photographs and notes from the Burning Man art car build. Taylor Dunn chassis, Moroccan palanquin, LiFePO4. Updated as it comes together.
• Notes on Sponsorship Pitch Design — What I learned designing for sponsorship sales at OVG. Observations from inside a category almost no one writes about.
• From HyperCard to TouchDesigner — The tools change, the work doesn't. A throughline from a Macintosh Classic II at DASH to an interactive projection wall in 2026.
