I'm Q!
Designer. Maker.
Systems thinker.

I love scrappy ideas, steady progress, and solving problems — making hard things easier so we can work better together.

Heard

Being “heard” isn’t about words—it’s about recognition. A tiny signal that says: I see you, I got you, we’re in this together.

Don’t fear the splatter. Fear the spotless kitchen with nothing to eat. Progress is messy. And progress is the point.

All the planning, all the process, all the polish — it circles back to the same thing: Are we going to be OK?

Rest. The quiet prep before the next push.

Carrots

Not every carrot is worth chasing. The art is pausing mid-bite, mid-scroll, mid-ping, and asking: which one really matters right now?

That instant when everyone silently admits: the chaos is too much. Time to stop, reset, and literally get on the same page.

TDD

Green checkmarks don’t guarantee progress. It’s not about the badge or the acronym. It’s about whether you solved the problem that really matters.

Hot Shot

A note to my younger self: stay stubborn, stay strange, and write it all down. You’ll need it more than you think.

Sunday’s adventure? Spelunking my own notes. Wandering deep, finding hidden connections, surfacing with insights I didn’t expect.
