Good food, photos from wherever I end up, and things I've enjoyed making.

From Crochet Patterns to Code: Building a Pattern Studio

A work in progress with Teddy: designing a way to publish her crochet patterns without changing how she creates them. Listening to her shifted the project from automating her process to supporting it.

All Adventures

Two buses pass the entrance of a tall red-brick hotel in downtown Grand Rapids.

A red rose rests on the wet dark rim of an outdoor fountain.

Tiny decorative windows and a miniature bridge turn a hollow tree trunk into a fairy house.

Teddy sits on a low wall overlooking a leaf-covered woodland path.

Curled air plants and dried leaves sit inside a glass container.

Capturing the Spirit of Slim’s

A website that feels like Slim's, with clearer navigation and a calendar brought into the main site. The work continues through support for the people keeping it current.

Working together

I'm a creative consultant and digital product designer. I help people understand what's getting in the way, decide what needs to change, and shape how it should work. I collaborate remotely with businesses, agencies, and creative teams, from early questions through design and evaluation.

Work with me

Or if a recipe, photograph, or project here caught your eye, I'd be happy to hear from you.
