NASA Jewelry Line
NASA jewelry line. Limited run of 50 to 250. After that I move on to something else. :)
Sheet Metal Brake
Cornice, Box and Pan Brake
Toughened Shop Variable Voltage Power Supply
Adaptive reuse of two 1000W server power supplies. They no longer work in the server room ( funky intermittent errors ), but both power on. Besides, I like the form factor and current quality. Will be using Arduino and potentiometers from damaged battery powered hand tools.
Cistern Bench - 'Aware'
Part of 12,000 gal rainwater harvesting project.
Cistern bench. Japanese aesthetic in play: Aware. Spelled like conscious, but pronounced with 3 syllables. ‘Ah Wah Rey’ A nostalgic feeling for the past, expressed formally in the regular Shinto Religion EG the rebuilding of temples with new materials matching those centuries old.
Responsive Lighting ( Anti-Vegas )
Arduino powered LED proximity responsive lighting tech.
The problem with accent lighting is that there's too damn much of it most of the time. Vegas never shuts off, nor should it, but who wants Vegas Strip lighting in their neighborhood or back yard?

Is It Mobile? Is It Fast? Is It Secure?
If your site isn't moble optimized, fast and secure, you are out of the game. You have 3 seconds to capture the attention of a potential client. How does your site look on a phone? Is there a little lock icon, or an angry warning? Is your artwork licensed? Call me to update your unresponsive, slow and insecure site.

Exif Studio (In Development)
As a photographer you know exif data is essential to managing your image portfolio. For those who shoot film, embedding exif data is extremely time consuming. Changing existing exif data is another interruption. Each interruption to the creative process makes it less fun. Less fun means more, Why the eff should I bother? Exif Studio save time and helps you define and refine your expressive hybrid analog workflow.
