Writing, audio, and visual work exploring technology, identity, culture, and systems. Thoughtful perspectives on how we build and live with the tools around us.
Explore media →What We Believe
-
Clarity over complexity
Simple solutions that people can understand and trust.
-
Ownership over extraction
Your data and attention belong to you, not us.
-
Longevity over growth-at-all-costs
Building things that last, not things that scale recklessly.
-
Thoughtful design over noise
Every element earns its place. Nothing is there just because.
On Privacy
We don't believe trust should be earned through fine print.
We use automation tools to improve how we work—messages and shared content may be processed by these tools before reaching us. But privacy remains foundational: your data will never be sold, and we don't store information in ways that could be exploited.
Our software doesn't track you, profile you, or build dossiers. We build tools you can use without wondering what they're doing behind your back.
Our Principles
- Build software you'd want to use yourself
- Respect the user's time, attention, and data
- Ship when it's ready, not when it's trending
- Say no to dark patterns, always
- Prefer silence over noise
