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.

Creep

The fear of creep is real. But sometimes, the thing you resist most is the very thing that makes the work worth doing.

Hunt

For me, the hunt isn’t for clarity wrapped in a bow. It’s for tiny scraps that quietly change everything.

Lines (Part 2)

Behind the posts are scraps, wordplay, and odd little lines I fight to keep in. This post is a peek at the stitching—and the fun in the mess.

Beat

Ever notice how once the rhythm clicks, everything feels lighter? The mess stops being noise and starts sounding like… something real.

Snag

It’s not the big blowups that get me. It’s the tiny snags—the little “oh crap” moments that quietly tug until the whole day starts to unravel.

O.T.D.

Tiny logs, tiny reps. Proof you showed up today, in whatever shape it took.

Home

Came home yesterday. Travel-tired, straight to the couch. Home isn’t just where we stay—it’s the spaces, the stuff, the little corners we make ours.

Oh!

The rollercoaster of misses, near-misses, and breakthroughs—all summed up in a single soundtrack: OH NO! OH YES!

Soft

Soft skills don’t show up in Jira or sprint demos. But they shape how teams move, how trust builds, and whether the work actually sticks.

Kick

My timer goes off. A sharp beep yanks me out of the fog, drops me at a fork in the road: keep diving deeper, or surface now and breathe.

Travel Mornings

Traveling today. Everything feels a little sideways. That’s just how travel mornings go. Off tempo, but you still try to move with it.

Humble

Humility is refusing to inflate yourself—again and again. Trusting that effort will speak louder than ego ever could.

Long Weekend Sunday

A little rest this long weekend before the road (and skies) ahead.

Point

Funny thing about pointing: it looks silly, but it works. A flick of the hand or a chin tilt can cut through the fog faster than a paragraph ever could.
