When someone asks what connects all of it — the healthcare tools, the sustainability projects, the design work, the grant systems, the entertainment platforms — I don't reach for a grand vision statement. I call myself a serial dabbler. And I say it like it's a confession and a declaration at the same time.
Most people know me as a designer. I'm fine with that. But the project list on my machine tells a different story: a person whose curiosity doesn't respect lane markings. Healthcare. Agriculture. Stonework. Restaurants. Grants. Resumes. TV. Each one a scratch at a different itch.
The Accelerant
AI changed everything. Not in the breathless, hype-cycle way people talk about it. In a quiet, structural way.
Before AI, range like mine would mean being shallow everywhere. You'd spread yourself thin and never go deep enough to ship anything real. Now it means you can go deep on Monday in healthcare and deep on Tuesday in sustainability and actually ship something both times.
Not AI as replacement. Not AI as shortcut. AI as the thing that lets one person with curiosity and craft operate at the scale of a small studio. That's the unlock. That's what changed.
The People Who Inspire This
I'm inspired by people who just do fun stuff, and do it at a really high level. People solving problems big and small. Not the hustle-culture builders optimising for exits — the ones who build because the problem is interesting and the craft is satisfying.
"I'm a serial dabbler and AI is enabling this endless dabbling in things that interest me. Most people know me as just a designer and honestly, I'm fine with that. I'm really inspired by people that just do fun stuff, and do it at a really high level."
The Open Question
This might be the core thesis of everything I build. Not a company. Not a brand. A body of work driven by curiosity and craft, enabled by AI as a force multiplier for range.
The question that remains: is there a point where the dabbling converges into something? Or is the range itself the point?
I don't have the answer yet. I have a feeling it'll reveal itself through the work, not through the planning. In the meantime, I'll keep scratching itches.
