It starts withsomething I need.

I make products I would want to use every day, and hope they find people who care about the same details.

SELECTED WORK

On the workbench

Made from everyday life, for everyday life.

Work in progress

Capture a thought. Return to it later.

It began with a wish to make a note-taking tool I would want to use every day, shaped by my own sense of design.

Work in progress

Exploring a better way to work with agents.

I wanted to spend less time checking and repairing the work, and more time on what I set out to do. Rudder began there.

Work in progress

Keep a good interaction for the next thing you make.

I collect designs I like, take time to understand and refine them, and bring them into my own work.

Three things, still taking shape.

A PERSONAL PRACTICE

The questions often come from my own days.

How do I keep a thought? What makes an interaction feel natural? How could a piece of work ask for a little less attention?

These products are my answers, still taking shape.

If something here matters to you too, I'd be glad to hear from you.zeeland4work@gmail.com

NOTES ALONG THE WAY

Notes on questions, choices and revisions.

How can long-running work stay visible and recoverable, with decisions carried forward?

How can varied interests become a coherent practice, a continuing body of work, and a life with its own rhythm?

How can a need I feel become something others can use, question, and build on?

思考本身Future exploration

Earlier explorations

Projects from earlier chapters, each with its own questions and experiments.

An earlier exploration of an in-person community where hackers, artists and makers could turn ideas into reality together.

An early exploration of intelligent assistants for work and life.
