Explorations
Things I build to work out whether an idea holds. They are not client work and not a portfolio. Some became essays, some became tools I use, some are parked because the question turned out harder than I thought.
Several have something live you can open and have a go with. The rest are notes, models and half-built things, and the drawings show what each one is reaching for.
