The Isolation Projects

As I’ve been self-isolating and experiencing covid-induced unemployment, I’ve been taking this time to explore some ideas and tools that I hadn’t yet gotten to explore fully. All are inspired by events and people in my life and have meaning to me as an individual.


The first is Hearth, inspired by my experiences as a first-time homeowner and struggling with all the upkeep and maintenance (some of which I didn’t even know needed to happen).

HEARTH

Many first-time homeowners (and even seasoned homeowners) aren’t experts in home upkeep and maintenance. Hearth helps with that.


The second is Float Plan, inspired by an idea that Evan had about keeping friends and family informed about your itinerary for safety reasons.

Outdoor enthusiasts by nature are adventurers, but seeking adventure should never be a compromise for safety. Keep your loved ones informed!


The third is the State Resident Portal, my solution to outdated online government tools, especially for unemployment. These tools have provided a poor user experience for millions unemployed due to the pandemic. Coming soon!

Please get in touch if you’d like to chat about any of these projects!

Teaching Screenprinting

About a month ago, I got my first chance to teach screenprinting at IBM Design's Make Lab. It was a blast. The group turned out to be all women, and we printed a little graphic print commemorating my 2016 summit of Katahdin.

The IBM Make Lab is a maker space in the heart of a large corporation. At the Make Lab, experienced printers teach fellow IBMers how to screenprint and use the space. After completing a class, the IBMers can use and contribute to the space as much as they want, whether it's making prints for their team or product at IBM, or creating personal work. Either way, I'm proud to help out in such a great space!
