What I'm up to

Right
now.

A page that says what I'm actually doing this month, instead of pretending I'm always available for everything. Borrowed from Derek Sivers.

01 · Working on

Four open
tabs.

The actual list, today. Not "what I offer" — what I'm inside of right now.

01
Little Watchmaker Glass
Prep for the photo refresh and Stripe cutover — Mom's photo booth arrives this week, and the site goes fully live with real images and live commerce.
cutover incoming
02
The studio itself
This very site. Building the foundation that all future work points back at. Six-week prototype phase before opening to outside customers.

03
Marketing engine prototype
Running the full Tier 2 retainer workflow on Mom's site as a live test — Instagram, newsletter, SEO — so the system is dialed before any paying customer sees it.

04
Texas warm intros
Three pre-warm asks to people in my network who know small business owners. Customer #2 will probably come from one of these threads — possibly Mom's glass-artist friend.

02 · Thinking about
01

What it actually means to ship taste, not just code, at small-business prices.

02

How to make the AI engine invisible — present in the workflow, absent from the brand.

03

When Texas word-of-mouth scales without me needing to be there in person.

04

The right shape of the retainer once the prototype on Mom's site has real data.

03 · Where I am

Austin, TX

01
Home base · always

Texas State of Legal Residence. The LLC lives here. Most clients will, too.

Hilo, HI

02
On military orders · for now

Working from a porch with too many geckos. The studio travels.

04 · Availability

Not yet, but soon.

The studio is in its first prototype phase — running the full Tier 1 + Tier 2 workflow on Mom's site through ~June 2026. After that, taking on three new projects a quarter. Reach out anyway and you'll be first in the queue.

check back in a few weeks — I'll have moved on to something else.
