Software designer and writer from California. I write about literature, design, art & technology on my Substack newsletter, personal canon.
I'm very excited about
Contemporary literature / Software's influence on culture / Design process and writing process / Interdisciplinary practice / The joy of a good groupchat / Reading books, not feeds / Community endeavors / The long twentieth century / The resurgence of physical crafts in a digital age
so feel free to talk to me about these things!
