Chrome extension
YouTube already has Japanese subtitles, and a learner can do very little with them. I wanted the dictionary inside the caption instead of in a second window, so I built it: furigana over the kanji, the English underneath, and a card behind every word you click.
Web app
I started a new job, noticed how much I was forgetting, and built the chief of staff I wanted. COSTA holds what I am working on, who matters and what is owed, and works from it every day. The next version is in progress.
Video project
The video sibling of Morning Observations of the Sea: a meditative antidote to doomscrolling. Currently under development, shipping as an iOS app at some point.
Documentary site
A documentary history of a Victorian villa in Newton Abbot, once called Knowles Hill after the hill it stands on, traced through deeds, censuses, estate maps and newspaper archives. It marks where the record runs out as carefully as where it speaks.
Online shop
Satirical notebooks that look like political nonfiction: a real-looking cover and title, blank pages inside. They are print-on-demand, so nothing sits in a warehouse. I built the shop, the order flow and the print pipeline myself.
Company
The consultancy I run alongside my day job: fractional design leadership, product and UX audits, coaching for design leaders, and speaking.
Client site
A practice site for a creative counsellor in Newton Abbot. It is quiet and plainly written, and booking an introductory session is the first thing on the page.
Client site
Booking and a shop for art classes in South Devon and online, run by the same therapist-artist. It is brighter than the practice site and just as plainly written.
Personal site
My own site, and the place I try things out. The music wall, the library terminal, the photo essays and a 404 that prints are each a small experiment in how a page can look and behave.
