I love that I still impress myself with my art. Like damn I painted that?? How?? This is what you need to survive being a full-time artist in 2025. To keep the magic & creativity alive.

i've documented 30+ stories from illustrations to personal archives & its an abs joy to record someone's bts for their personal kit. the stuff that's made of all the collaborations & iterations that happen on the way. // process > outcomes every day.

there is something miraculously satisfying about hearing people make connections in their own story. there are fieldwork *nerds* out there, obsessed with the work they do.
this is a map for a fieldwork researcher/community adv/social educator, how can you not love 'em?!

this collection of wild, weird and wonderful careers // artwork exists because people are so generous & transparent with their stories. i have a soft spot for niche, unexpected careers, from people who are ridiculously obsessed with what they do & enthusiastic about sharing it.

i spent 600+ hours drawing, collaborated on 30+ commissions across 10+ industries, and had the joy of mapping for folks that blend disciplines, care deeply about data & anecdotes, collaborate intuitively & commit to their craft patiently and transparently.

studio day // an isopod nerd's world
loved curating this print. a world map, deep sea isopods, fieldwork samples, and museum specimens. lots of clunkiness, machinery, construction. doors that lead to all the favorite places and a collection of fav stories.

Surprise is so key. Why I share process, I have ideas but it’s only in the dance of sketches, words, and constraints of the form that I see where I’m going. I often experience - I didn’t know that was going to happen! And that should be all our creative work and our learning. No replacement for that

If i knew exactly what i was doing before i made a thing, I wouldn’t want to do it. I love being able to look at my work & say, where did that come from? How did i come up with that? It might look to outsiders that you knew what you were doing all along. But in reality it only emerges along the way!

one of the things i love probing about in sessions is breaking down failures from a place of, "hey, i loved it, i tried. here's why i was excited about it, here's what happened." most failures are really, really good data. whether that's intuitive or logistical.

scientists. robotics folks. we do lots of session de-briefs here because failures are v. v. v. important learnings.

love, love working with a founder that's making things good (& opensource.)
it's about knowing what you love to build. what you love about big problems and building with your hands. what you love to do with technology without making slop. what you're actually willing to push and experiment with.

i think its fair to say i adore transcribing fieldwork adventures beyond the "success" of the "discoveries" made. exploring a space for the 56th time makes folks attuned to the slightest shifts.

the simons foundation triangle program is quite possibly my favorite artist + scientist collaboration.
& i've been working w. creative folks for a year & this sentence is peak validation, "we have seen the value of giving creative collaborations time to breathe without mandated outcomes."
