02How I work
Design judgment. Engineering depth. Product ownership.
I work across the whole arc of a product — product definition, information architecture, interface design, system architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration. Fewer handoffs, clearer decisions, and a single person accountable from concept to production.

Engagements span three decades; not all work is recent.
Typography is where the engineering starts.
My foundation is an MFA in graphic design from RISD and years of typography and information-design work, including low-vision legibility research that became the Universal Web. That same discipline — semantic structure, readable type, WCAG- oriented development — now shapes how I build AI and software interfaces. Accessibility isn't a compliance layer here; it is how the interface is designed from the first decision.

All writing →A Field Kit in PETG
Eighty-odd printed parts hold a flying magnetometer together: clamps, cradles, couplers, and a towed sensor pod, all printed overnight on a desktop machine. Notes on 3D printing as a field-engineering practice, revision by revision.
Designing for an Invisible Constraint
A drone that measures magnetic fields cannot be built like other drones: every screw is a design decision. What a survey aircraft taught me about constraint-first design — a lesson twenty years of typography had already tried to teach.
The Agent in the Workshop
I gave Claude three specialized subagents — a mount designer, an OpenSCAD author, and a print checker — and let them iterate real drone parts through eighteen logged revisions. Notes on what AI-assisted mechanical design actually looks like.
Have a difficult product, platform, or technical system to build?
I work with organizations that need design judgment, technical depth, and direct ownership from concept through implementation.
