Creativity

Tone is your fingerprint. Your feel. But it’s not a prerequisite. It’s the product of effort. Start before you “find your sound.” Then find it.

A random video from over 10 years ago changed how I think about craft. Joy, knowledge, taste—shared without ego. Passion isn’t a performance—it’s an invitation.

Packing isn’t just about stuff. It’s about seeing clearly—what you carry, how it fits, and who you are. One bag at a time, I’m learning how I think.

A team, a spark, a tiny skateboard. I made a surprise gift no one asked for—and no one saw coming. It started with list and ended around a round table.

Spark the idea. Speedrun the test. Share the scrappy demo. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to move the story forward.

The people who shaped me never knew they did. That’s what sparks do—they pass, quietly, from one hand to the next.

I wake. I log. I pour the water. Instant coffee, same shelf, same cup. It’s not inspiration—it’s habit. And somewhere in the quiet, the idea comes.

A speedrun forces decisions, cuts the fluff, and brings the real problem into view. You may not solve it—but you’ll always learn something useful.

Demos build trust—not because they’re perfect, but because they’re real. Show the thing. Let people feel it. That’s how you help people get it.

Take a beat. Find the groove. And play something that makes people move.

We underestimate how powerful small tips can be. 5 things I use every day that feel too simple to matter—but quietly changed how I work.

It’s easy to confuse clever with good. They’re not the same. Clever falls apart. Good gets refined into great.

Venn diagrams help me reframe problems—not by revealing the answer, but by changing how I see the question.

Every writer has thousands of bad pages in them. The faster you write them out, the sooner you find the good ones.

Tinkering until the morning coffee goes cold.
