The Work

The Making

Creative Work

Video, audio, courses and live events, made through Maple Grove Studio.

Creative work is where all the threads come together. Voice, story, image, code. I make multimedia pieces, learning experiences, and small productions. I'm after texture more than spectacle. The grain of a thing. How it feels to move through it.

"Make the thing that does not quite exist yet, and make it badly enough to recognize. Then make it again."
01

Multimedia & Production

I produce short-form audio, video, and hybrid pieces. Often collaborative, often small. I'm not chasing polish for its own sake. I'm chasing rightness. The sound that makes a stranger pause on a walk. The image that stays after the screen goes dark.

02

Learning Experiences

I build courses, workshops, and reflective formats for people who want to learn the way a forest grows. Slowly, in layers, with room for the unexpected. My favorite classrooms have no walls.

The Maker's Loop

Making, for me, is iterative and unglamorous. You sketch, you fail, you keep the one detail that's actually true, and you drop the rest. The work that lasts is almost always the third or fourth version. By then you've stopped trying to impress anyone, including yourself.
