Come play.

Five little experiments — fix a broken screen, peel back a real design, walk through my day, make some art, and leave your mark. No sign-up, no scroll-jacking. Just design, out loud.

Behind the pixels

Drag the handle across a real screen from Platform Operations Portal to peel back the surface and see the decisions underneath.

Platform Operations Portal dashboard
1Health first. Cost and pipeline status sit above the fold — the two things that wake an engineer up at 3am.
2One accent, one meaning. Teal only ever marks an action, so the next move is never ambiguous.
3Cards as containers. Common region groups each metric with its own status — one card reads as one fact.
4Role-aware. A “View as” model hides what you don't own, so a product owner never wades through infra noise.

A day in my life

My actual routine, animated — all 18 moments from 7:00 AM to lights out. Tap the dots to jump to any routine, use ← → to step through, and hit play lofi for the soundtrack.

Make something

A shared canvas of shapes and colour. Click a square to cycle through forms, drag to paint across the grid. Bauhaus rules: circles, arcs, triangles, bars — nothing else.
