Design leader / solution dreamer / aesthetic enthusiast.
I bring joy, comfort, and sometimes relief through the design of objects and their interactions. I know a bit about human factors too.
Vinyl lover 🎧 My frittatas are pretty good!
I modeled this eyeball pattern on a whim for a special iron cupola pour… 30 years ago in my metal sculpture class at SJSU.
I finished it this week with an iron phosphate patina - mounted it today with these integrated clamps.
Never too late I guess… just waiting for the right place to install it!

As I oh-so-slowly work to build up my network of cannabis professionals in the Blueskies, I found this article to be a great share... a summary of how taboo and stigma were built to protect big money interests through a convenient scapegoating.

Sound familiar?

1925 – 2025: The 100 Years War on Cannabis – How Big Industry Demonized Marijuana – Cannabis & Tech Today
Despite brief reprieves driven by the needs of war, the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act became the nail in the coffin. By 1982, another tax code, 280E, further ensured that even if states legalized cannabis, distribution would remain financially untenable.

So AI-generated music is not only all over Spotify, spammers have figured out how to get AI songs onto the profiles of real artists, many of whom are dead. Reason #23723487849 to quit spotify and also a reminder we live in hell

The amount of zen achieved when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today, is directly proportionate to the amount of giddiness experienced when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today. They oddly don’t cancel each other out either.

The state of our nation is a premise for a good Batman movie. We have goons, thugs, scandal, untouchables...
But where the F is Batman?

I'm really digging on this rolling table design; joy received from watching them do their thing in a playful way + high precision with the most minimal of construction and parts. Don't know if I'd use it as a bar cart, but I love the potential for a movable end-table.

More screaming into the void...
But if i am fortunate for you to read this question:

Is there really a benefit in autonomous vehicles which affects the average person? Are robots taking jobs from people, or is the tech really posing a financial value that goes beyond the pockets of its owners?

One of the most logically laid-out arguments I have read for cannabis reform at a congressional level, and why the DEA is only protecting their own interests by gatekeeping progress... despite overwhelming evidence that their reasoning is fallacious or just not true.
