The Idea
A tribute to the people who do the work of memory: archivists, researchers, and the materials they've worked with for centuries. Paper, ink, the impression of a letterpress. Calm and editorial by default, color held back for where it counts.
Logomarks
The logo is the wordmark above. These are the marks that stand in for it when the wordmark cannot.

Roboto Mono · brandAa Bb 01
The quiet record of what happened, who said it, and when.
Inter · interfaceAa Bb 01
Roboto Mono carries the wordmark, a quiet nod to monospaced records. Inter does the day-to-day reading.
Brand World
The rebrand extends past the logo into a full art-directed visual language, an homage to print, ink and paper.
Duotone field. Place as evidence.Stacked record. The archive itself.Halftone burst. Moments of attention.Dispersed cube. The mark broken open.
In Product
The brand carried through to the surface people actually use.

El Encanto, Jardín de Vinos
Description
A wine garden in Quito. Built around small-grower bottles, food made for the table, and an outdoor garden that doubles as the dining room.
A full engagement: name, brand, strategy, the website at elencanto-uio.com, on-site pieces (menus, signage, the little stuff that touches a guest), and the operations app the team uses to run service.
The Idea
A warm dark room. A hand-drawn mark in cream like ink on a coaster. Wine first, then the food that goes with it, then the garden that holds both. Everything tuned to feel like a table you sit down at, not a brand you scan.
Logo
A mark and a wordmark that name what the place is.
On the room.
On paper.
Palette
Wine country at dusk. Deep browns and grass green hold the room. Gold and beige are the candlelight. Accent red is for the bottle you want to remember.
Deep Brown #4A1F1A the room
Brown #6E3C30 oak and earth
Grass #3D4A40 the garden
Gold #C9A66B candlelight
Beige #FFF6EA paper and ink
Accent #BE2641 the bottle
Type
Arboria in two weights for the words, Lindsey for the handwritten touches: chalkboard specials, a flourish on a card.

Operations app
The team at El Encanto needed something to run service. I'm building it with them.
The first version is small on purpose. The host takes orders on whatever device is nearest. The kitchen gets a printed ticket and marks it done. The floor watches the state from the same screen. Nobody has to cross the garden to ask where an order is.
Building from scratch means we can shape it to the room instead of fitting the room to someone else's POS.
Web client: React + Tailwind, runs on whatever device is closest to the host
API: Hono on Node with WebSockets for live order state
Print bridge: A small local service that listens for new tickets and pushes them to the kitchen printer
Data: Postgres with Drizzle, typed end to end
In product
The flow end to end: a waiter takes the order, the kitchen sees it, the table sees a bill, the night closes out.
Mesero. Orders into the system.Cocina. Tickets land, get marked done.Cuentas. Splits and totals.Caja. End of the night.
Status
Brand and site are live. Operations app is in active build, May 2026.
A Mac app I'm building for the way I actually work. I want to run two or three Claude Code sessions at once, sometimes on the same repo, without them tripping over each other's changes, and decide on permission prompts without window-tagging between terminals.
Operator is the place I launch sessions from. Each one runs in its own embedded terminal, grouped by project, and when an agent needs a decision the prompt floats over whatever app I'm in. I say yes or no without breaking stride.
Features
Launch from one window: Pick a folder, configure the agent (effort, permission mode, MCP), start. Each session lives in its own embedded terminal grouped by project
Isolated worktrees: Toggle worktree on and the session gets its own git worktree, so parallel agents on the same repo never collide
Notification pill: Floats over whatever app you're in when an agent needs a decision. Approve or deny without context-switching
Auto-approve rules: One click on "Always" turns a permission decision into a standing rule. All editable from the rules view
In-app diff review: See each session's changes in a built-in diff viewer, then Commit, Merge back to base, or Discard without leaving the app
Dashboard + audit trail: Live status for every session (running, waiting, compacting, idle) plus a local log of every action approved or denied
Command palette: Cmd+K. Cmd+N for a new session, Cmd+1–9 to switch
Hooks behavior
Operator configures Claude Code's hooks on launch, but the hook only acts on sessions Operator itself started — it identifies them by the OPERATOR_TERMINAL_ID env var injected into each terminal's environment. A claude run yourself in iTerm or VS Code hits the hook but exits immediately, so Operator stays a session manager, not a machine-wide gateway. If Operator isn't running, the hook fails open and Claude Code works normally.
Stack
Electron + React + Vite + Tailwind on the front. Express, better-sqlite3, and node-pty behind it.
Status
In active build, June 2026. Private repo for now.
Terminus
Description
An interactive terminal in a browser. Type commands to move through the site, change themes, or load a game. The whole thing pretends to be a CRT from 1985 and most of the time you forget it isn't.
A tribute to my first computer, a Commodore 64, and to the command lines I grew up reading.
