Good ideas often start with something missing

Olivia & Opal Studio began during a complex software project. Somewhere between the ideas, decisions and moving pieces, I found myself wishing for a clearer way to keep everything together.So I started making one.That first idea became a planner for complex projects — and opened the door to something bigger: a place to turn the things I notice, need and imagine into products worth sharing.

Olivia and Opal are part of the inspiration behind the studio — and a reminder to leave a little room for curiosity and play. That spirit sits alongside the practical side of what I make: thoughtful tools for work and everyday life, creative ideas for learning and play, and whatever interesting idea comes next.Some ideas begin with a problem to solve. Others begin with a simple "what if?" I like making room for both.
