Strategy that gets built. Brand, product, and innovation work for companies who want momentum, not more slides.
02→Where curiosity becomes something useful. Experiments, prototypes, calculators, and half-finished ideas.
03→Ideas deserve to exist in the real world. Furniture, CNC work, laser projects, and product prototypes from the Ojai shop.
04→More than a hobby. Ride reports, bike reviews, tech, and the annual Tour de France pool.
05→Better games for better thinking. PAIRS, ALT., and whatever’s next.
06→Food is one of the most powerful design challenges. Recipes, collections, and backyard experiments.
