Side quests
The things that do not fit neatly on a resume. Kept here because they explain more about how I work than any of the tidy parts do.
I ran a boutique literary agency and book packaging business. Authors, contracts, editorial calendars, and a lot of learning what happens when creative work meets a deadline and a P&L.
Creative operations is a design problem.
A newsletter I keep writing because ideas get sharper once somebody else has to read them.
Publishing is the fastest editor.
Take a lookAn agentic mental health system built around my own failure points. It has a lockout. It has used the lockout.
Build for the version of you that is not doing well.

Small logistics is enormously satisfying.
Take a lookA tool nobody wanted, two prototypes I killed on purpose, and one very confident idea that a five minute conversation dismantled.
Killing things early is a skill, not a mood.
