Prototypes built to think with — for exploring messy data, mapping domains, and making decisions more legible. Each project is self-contained and runs in the browser.
Most data problems aren't about missing data. The data is there — in a database, a spreadsheet, a pile of exports. The problem is the gap between data existing and people being able to actually think with it.
I'm interested in that gap. Specifically in the kind of work that happens before you know what you're looking for: exploring a domain you don't fully understand yet, comparing options that don't reduce to a single number, mapping out how something actually works rather than how it's supposed to work.
The tools here are attempts at making that kind of work more structured without making it more complicated. Small, focused interfaces for specific cognitive tasks — sorting, mapping, comparing. The kind of thing that normally ends up in a spreadsheet or on a whiteboard, but benefits from a bit more scaffolding.
Map an area through its workflows
An interface for understanding a domain by charting its workflows. Add components, open questions, themes, and connections to build a navigable map of how things actually work — not just what they are.
Multi-dimensional ranking for messy decisions
Define a list of items and the dimensions that matter to you. Score each combination, adjust weights, and get a ranked result. No spreadsheet required.
I build internal tools for teams working with complex data. This lab is where I put standalone experiments — things too small for a product, too useful to throw away. Each entry is functional and independent.
If something here is useful to you, or you have a data/workflow problem to explore — reach out.
