PROJECTS

Selected work.

Active music releases, visual craft, and custom tools. Each project connects sound, image, story, or software into something deliberate, functional, and finished.

Built across multidisciplinary craft—from heavy guitar arrangements and hand drawing to local-first client-side systems.
