Tinkering
Gradient Studies
Python scripts that generate the gradient fields and bloom textures used across my brand work. Procedural, tweakable, occasionally surprising.
PLAYGROUND / NO PROMISES
Where the less serious things live.
Not everything I make deserves a case study. This shelf holds the experiments, half-finished toys, and tools I built mostly for myself, shared because they're fun, not because they're done. Expect rough edges.
Live
Infinity Mirror Pattern Visualizer
A browser toy that previews LED animations on a virtual mirror, so I can design patterns before they ever touch real hardware.
Live
Name Lamp Generator
Type any name and the app builds a two-piece, 3D-printable clamshell lamp shell of the letters, ready to fill with string lights. Live polygon geometry, snug letter joining, and one-click STL export.
Live
Nixie-Style Thermometer
A desk thermometer that shows the outdoor temperature as a glowing, edge-lit digit. A stack of laser-engraved acrylic panels lit one at a time by addressable LEDs, driven by an ESP32 on ESPHome. My HCDE 533 (Digital Fabrication) final project.
Beta
Portfolio Chat
Ask an AI version of this site anything about my work. Runs on a self-hosted n8n workflow with Claude behind it.
Live
The Living Logo
The finished Layered Logic mark, running live everywhere it appears on this site (even the tiny one in the nav). Two nested Ls in layered indigo read your cursor like a level meter, a quiet pulse wanders the mark while it waits, and it pulls its tuning straight from the logo's GitHub repo.
More experiments land here as they escape my hard drive.
