  • Making & Publishing

    Alongside institutions and ideas, I make physical things — art, prints, sketchbooks, books, and drawing systems designed to slow us down and reconnect eye and hand.

Why making still matters

We live in a time of rapid digital acceleration. AI and automation bring extraordinary opportunity, but they also risk pulling us away from our own thinking.

For most of my working life, I’ve seen what happens when people are given time, materials, and permission to make. Drawing and making slow us down. They develop attention, patience, and judgment. They join the hand, the eye, and the mind.

These analogue skills are not in opposition to technology — they are essential to it. The ability to observe closely, think laterally, work through uncertainty, and make decisions with care underpins creativity, entrepreneurship, and meaningful innovation.

Whether I’m working in education, developing new platforms, or publishing physical tools, my focus is the same: helping people build the confidence, adaptability, and creative thinking they need to shape their own futures.
