I practice digital and film photography, ranging from snapshot to conceptual collage. I received an MFA in Photography from University of Illinois at Chicago. I work as a designer at Apple.

Nothing really beats the excitement of when a prototype gets more complex than you thought you could handle.

Safari tip of the day:

On iPhone or iPad tap a link with two fingers to open in the background.

Wrote a little Python script to control some Hue led strip lights behind my chair to act as a brake light. A bit too much delay, but good for entertainment purposes.

Oh man. They would fit. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/fashion/sneaker/_Omega-Sports-Apple-Computer-Sneakers-or-Size-10.5

Build a new photo website this week. First time ever using Kirby CMS. Quite a pleasure to work it.

Many people I admire tend to make sure the things they put out into world are routinely well crafted and considered.

I find this to be a very appealing way of doing and have gone through periods of my life where I have mostly operated this way...

Every time I do math in the inspector panel I feel pretty cool.

I’ve become fully obsessed with iRacing. https://youtu.be/u8K8Xkabghs

Origami really is a great prototyping tool, if you have the capacity to remember the patch names.

Designers don’t really have any formal oaths, but maybe we should. i.e. ‘do no harm…’

Would be such a great backbone for better decision making. ‘Sorry, that would be harmful to people, I literally can’t do that!’

My cat has some sort of innate ability to avoid being captured in focus.

I'm using the internet, through a website.

Old Trek:
When you follow the rules great things happen.

New Trek:
When you break the rules great things happen.

In my world, all walls would connect to the floor like this.

Something I miss about Photoshop was '⌘-w' closing a file, and then tapping 'd' in the Save menu to Delete. Coolest file abandon flow ever.

I think it is advantageous to acknowledge that as a human you are likely to be wrong a lot.

To present yourself and your work as unflawed is not only exhausting, but generally unconvincing over time.

Staying motivated knowing that many things you do will fail is the key.

This one is almost usable but the numbers always mess me up. I have to count out loud to for the middle ones.

Was thinking about how much of my day I spend interacting with user interface in the various things I do.

I think its easy to become jaded along the way, but this work is so cool and impactful when done well.

I feel really lucky and happy to be involved in it.

This is somewhat twisted psychology but my biggest motivators are:

- Having something to prove
- Having something to express
- Having something to learn
- Having something to fear

I honestly like all of them except that last one.
