This project brings together things I find interesting about personal development and human experience, expressed through a blog, a printed/PDF magazine, a video, and a book. An information designer's take on how humans construct reality, work, and a life. In my perspectives and in my writing, I use subtle humor, not as contrast, but as part of the way meaning reveals itself. Not conclusions—just a way of seeing, one that developed slowly, as a story in linear time, made in a space outside of time. Read more about my influences here.
