Despite heading into an era where skills are being commoditized. Where data is becoming increasingly cheap and wildly ubiquitous. Where LLMs can pattern-match anything but feel nothing. I still find myself chasing the path that demands craft and upholds passion. The path that uses instinct as a legitimate tool, and where experience becomes the vehicular medium between us and our sprawling ecosystem of bots, agents, and smart(ish) machines.
I work at the frontier where creative freedom meets production reality. Tuning a smoothstep() to avoid suddenness, channel packing as a principle, test, repeat, delete, edit, re-do. I trust my instincts when a machine breathes like it needs an extra performance pass, when that tap response is a fraction too slow, when a GPU slightly whirs in pain. It's that sensitivity that I believe empowers and frees the creative process without losing sight of what's technically achievable.
Over more than two decades, I've worked closely with engineers, poets, roboticists, designers, philosophers, artists, and technologists. From them, I learned that meaning lives in the spaces between disciplines, not inside any single one. Like the whitespace that guides the eye... or the intricate countershapes of every letter, carrying a univocal subconscious meaning. I felt compelled to explore communication at its most subconscious level, on its interstices, because once you touch someone at that depth, the message becomes an irrefutable truth.
