I design interfaces, build flying machines, and draw what I can't build yet.
I was told, repeatedly, to pick a lane. Design or engineering. Art or code. I tried — it didn't take. By day I design product interfaces for early-stage teams. Evenings belong to the workshop: for the past two years I've been building flapping-wing aircraft from carbon rod, mylar, and the occasional broken promise. In between, I draw. The posters started as proportion studies for a client's brand and became a small printed series of their own. None of this is a pivot. It's one practice with different instruments. The sketches inform the interfaces, the machines discipline the sketches, and the writing keeps all of it honest. This page is where the whole thing finally lives in one place — which, until now, it never did.

Codice
An open-source digital notebook that treats sketches, notes, and code as one connected surface. No folders, no modes — just pages that link. Built because every tool I tried made me choose what kind of thinking I was allowed to do.

Ornithopter No. 4
A flapping-wing aircraft built from carbon rod and mylar, designed entirely in my notebooks first. Numbers one through three hang on the wall as reminders. This one flew forty-one seconds last week.

Proportion Studies
A printed poster series translating classical proportion systems — Vitruvius, the golden section, musical ratios — into contemporary typography. Edition of fifty, numbered by hand.
Started sketching a fifth wing design between client work. Lighter spar, longer stroke. Old notebooks keep paying rent.
Codice v0.3 is out: linked sketches now render inline inside notes. Small feature, huge difference in how it feels to think in it.
Ornithopter No. 4 survived its first sustained flight today — 41 seconds. The wing linkage finally holds under load. Filming the next test.
