Digital Experiments

The common thread is visualization — systems made visible. Typographic engines, manuscript-flavored interfaces, motion tools, timelines, breathing worlds: different shapes of an inspired craft.

Decision Themes

A design system generator that shows its math — whole visual systems derived from a handful of decisions.

Visualization experiments

Timelines, diagrams, motion studies — the mathematics of rhythm and movement, tested in public. The lab notebook, left open.

We Are Patterns

A book about how to look at the world through the pattern view and how the change in eprception changes our attitude, and our experience.

The mad project

DTS: A Design Decision System

three decisions

Three decisions. Everything on the right is consequences.

order where it matters

Play whenever you can. The scale, the swatches and the spacing below all derive from the three decisions on the left — the same way a whole site can.

Decision Themes, my design system generator, turns a few base decisions — size, rhythm, color — into a complete, coherent design system, derived by rule. The math underneath is public: on GitHub and npm, with a live playground at decisionthemes.com.

How looking ourselves as interacting patterns changes the perspective

We are patterns

Taking an attempt at writing a book about how looking at life as an infinite generation and interference of patterns affects our thinking about the world, life, death, and relationships. It is a meditation, an observation through a unique lense.

Right now it is too dense, but a great project I am happy to share chapter by chapter (unedited, work in progress) – hopefully one day I even finish.

fund the lab

Every experiment needs funding.

If you enjoy my work and have the means to support me, I opened three channels for it, or you can always hire my skills for commissions.

  • 1 Buy me a cappucino. Small fuel, gratefully burned. Lactose free. — buymeacoffee.
  • 2 Sponsor the experiments. The goal is to create open source applications. Every sponsored hour is an hour the lab spends experimenting instead of invoicing — GitHub Sponsors.
  • 3 Commission the lab. How it runs today: a limited number of client projects a year, chosen for fit. The biggest single way to fund the work, it just borrows the scientist while it does — Digital Presence
