"Life is not meant to be optimized.
It's a mystery meant to be discovered."
I try things. Some work. Some don't. I write about all of it.
Picked up a camera the way some people pick up running — not because I was good at it, but because I needed to be outside my own head. Wedding photography taught me light and composition, but also how to be invisible in a room full of people.
The camera couldn't hold everything. Writing came reluctantly — essays that start with objects and open into larger territories. Failure. Belonging. The gap between who you are and who you thought you'd become.
Monthly gatherings where strangers share stories no one asked them to polish. The room leans in. Not to judge, not to solve, but to witness. I thought I was teaching storytelling. Turns out I was learning to listen.
Not an engineer by training. I keep building small tools the way some people collect pocket knives — not because I need them, exactly, but because making something is the best way to understand it.
Things I've tried, things I'm building, things I'm still figuring out.
Photography, writing, and monthly storytelling circles — three practices that taught me the same lesson about paying attention. I photograph to see, write to understand, and host circles where strangers become less strange.
"Maybe storytelling isn't a skill you develop — it's what happens when you stop performing and start noticing."
Explore →Small AI tools for thinking, reflection, and personal growth. The flagship is Life Game — an RPG for your real life. Also prototyping an AI mentor, a second-brain builder, and more.
"The tools we build to think with end up building us back."
See projects →I'm not an expert. I'm not a coach. I'm someone who tries things, fails at most of them, and writes about what happens in between.
I'm not looking for followers. I'm looking for fellow explorers.
Have a project, an idea, or a "what if"? I love meeting fellow explorers and figuring things out together.
Let's TalkNo sales funnels. Just a human writing to other humans.
This page is where I work. But there's a quieter place — no portfolio, no pitch. Just a house I built to think in, with rooms you can wander through.
