This is where I test ideas that don't fit neatly into a product roadmap — embodiment, materiality, and behavior change explored through wearable and soft technology, textiles, and biomaterials.
It's the lab behind the practice: research that resurfaces, sometimes directly, in how I approach product decisions elsewhere on this site. Not a separate career, but a different instrument for the same questions.
