Interfaces for work that has consequences.

Research, flows, design systems and the screens themselves, for products where a missed field is a compliance problem, not a typo.

Websites, designed and built end to end.

From a heat pump installer to a wood-fired kitchen. Each site starts with what a visitor needs to feel or do, then gets designed and coded around it.

AI drafts. People decide. The record holds.

The pattern under most of what I build: a model drafts against the actual standard, a qualified person reviews and approves, and the system keeps an audit-ready trail.

Route is a drop-in LLM gateway: four routing strategies, a per-team policy engine and SHA-256 response caching, so trivial prompts stop paying frontier prices. Designed to cut LLM bills by 30–50%.

3Built · furniture

Sashiru. Flat-packed, held by its joints.

Sashiru is my furniture line: a chair and a two-height table, CNC-cut from a single sheet of 18 mm birch ply. The frame locks with through-tenons and tapered wooden keys, after Japanese hozo and kusabi joinery. No glue, no screws. It ships flat, and one person can put it together.
