Spatial thinking as method

Every project begins as a navigable structure: a path, a hierarchy, a pause. We design how attention moves, like programs in space.

i work between art and design, using spatial thinking to question how technologies shape meaning, behavior, and experience. We move across digital and physical media, often misusing tools, systems, and interfaces to resist predictability and the growing sterility of spaces optimized for frictionless interaction.

Every project begins as a navigable structure: a path, a hierarchy, a pause. We design how attention moves, like programs in space.

We repurpose tools and workflows until they stop behaving “correctly.” The goal isn’t smoothness: it’s specificity, resistance, and surprise.

We’re drawn to weird, exaggerated, irregular forms: performative rather than resolved. Nooks, crannies, and inconsistencies invite exploration, misuse, and multiple interpretations. Friction becomes an entry point.
I make artifacts and structures that don’t rush to resolve themselves. Irregular forms hold tension; details and inconsistencies create pause. The work is meant to be used—like a navigational tool—for living inside increasingly specific conditions.
I hope i can make this consistent, but i am INTERESTED IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEXT AND WORK. I BELIEVE THAT MAKERS SHOULD BE HYPER-AWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WRITING CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ACHIEVING THIS.
