description: "design across scales, and the open tools underneath"
---

i work independently across scales, from buildings to books to screens, and the open infrastructure underneath them. it sounds like several jobs, but it's one: design with a bias toward things you own rather than rent, toward formats anyone can read, toward work that outlives a licence. the same logic that runs [openbureau](/openbureau/).

**architecture**\
concept and design work, from early studies to drawings.

**open-source ICT**, via [openbureau](/openbureau/)\
i curate, set up, and support open-source software that carries no fixed costs, so a studio runs on tools it owns instead of subscriptions it rents.

**graphic, editorial & web**\
visual identity, graphic design, book and publication layout, and websites built to be fast, readable, and yours, like this one.

**work**\
