Work With Me
Bring a real question. Leave with something built.
Builds, residencies, advising, speaking and experiments. The format changes; making something real does not.
The case studies show what this has looked like with actual people.
Why it exists
People often arrive wanting access rather than an outcome. This page makes the outcome the entry condition.
It also tells you quickly if I am the wrong person.
Core idea
I work best with a specific question, honest context, and a willingness to ship before it feels finished.
If the first month produces nothing real, the engagement is wrong.
Evidence
What the work looks like:
How I think about it
Advice without a build attached decays within a week.
I say no often, and earlier than is comfortable, because half-committed work helps no one.
How it works
Send the question, the context and the constraint you are working inside.
We agree what exists at the end before we start.
Projects and examples

Questions and tensions
Fact: The case studies on this site document real engagements with named people.
Interpretation: The best collaborations began with someone showing me something broken.
Experiment: Making a shipped artifact the condition of the work.
Ambition: Work that keeps running after I leave the room.
