BEAN.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCREEN.

BUILDER.

DEVELOPER.

UI/UX DESIGNER.

FASHION DESIGNER.

FOUR DISCIPLINES.

PLENTY OF OVERLAP.

I LIKE TAKING AN IDEA

AND FINDING OUT WHAT IT CAN BECOME.

SOMETIMES THAT MEANS A WEBSITE.

SOMETIMES AN INTERFACE.

SOMETIMES A PIECE OF CLOTHING.

THE STARTING POINT IS USUALLY SIMPLE.

SOMETHING I WANT TO USE.

SOMETHING I THINK COULD WORK BETTER.

A DETAIL I KEEP COMING BACK TO.

THEN THE QUESTIONS START.

WHAT BELONGS HERE?

WHAT CAN I REMOVE?

WHY DOES THIS FEEL HARDER THAN IT SHOULD?

I CARE ABOUT HOW THINGS LOOK.

I CARE JUST AS MUCH ABOUT USING THEM.

WHERE YOUR EYE GOES FIRST.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TOUCH SOMETHING.

WHETHER THE NEXT STEP MAKES SENSE.

THE SMALL THINGS ADD UP.

SPACING.

MOVEMENT.

PROPORTION.

THE WAY ONE PART CONNECTS TO ANOTHER.

I CAN SPEND A LONG TIME ON A DETAIL

THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT NEVER NOTICE.

BUT THEY MIGHT FEEL IT.

FASHION GIVES ME ANOTHER WAY

TO THINK ABOUT THE SAME QUESTIONS.

HOW SOMETHING FITS.

HOW IT MOVES.

HOW IT CHANGES WHEN SOMEONE MAKES IT THEIR OWN.

A SCREEN AND A GARMENT

ASK DIFFERENT THINGS OF YOU.

I LIKE LEARNING FROM BOTH.

SOME OF MY WORK STARTS

WITH SOMETHING I NEED MYSELF.

AS IT TAKES SHAPE,

I START WONDERING WHO ELSE IT COULD HELP.

THAT IS WHEN IT GETS INTERESTING.

OTHER PEOPLE BRING QUESTIONS

I WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED.

FRIENDS BECOME COLLABORATORS.

AN IDEA BECOMES SOMETHING WE CAN TEST.

THEN WE FIND WHAT NEEDS WORK.

I BUILD.

I USE IT.

I MAKE CHANGES.

SOMETIMES I GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

I’M STILL LEARNING

WHAT TO KEEP SIMPLE

AND WHERE TO PUSH A LITTLE FURTHER.

THIS PAGE IS PART OF THAT PROCESS.

A PLACE FOR THE WORK.

THE EXPERIMENTS.

AND THE THINGS STILL TAKING SHAPE.

MORE IS COMING.

FOR NOW,

I’M HERE.

ALWAYS CURIOUS.

ALWAYS BUILDING.

BEAN.
