Still need some plants and accessories, but loving how this turned out

The tropical design factory is done. Ridiculously happy with how this turned out. Eggy chair is temporary. Custom couch and cabinets coming in 2-3 weeks. 😎

New studio almost sealed up and ready to move in

Converting Louder Than Ten to a worker co-op in 2020 broke my brain (like in a good way). We shut down in early 2024. I took some space and worked for a company I admired. After 2 years, I'm pumped to get back to building something that feels important and relevant to our world in 2026.

I've been obsessed with workplace democracy and the labour movement for the last 8+ years. Since LT10, I can't stop thinking about how to make it easier to start and run co-ops. It's way harder than it needs to be.

So that's what I'm doing. Designing bespoke ops and governance systems for democratic workplaces.

My friend Tu does the best photo tours. Pick your medium format camera from his collection and take you through the streets of Saigon packed with history lessons, and stuff you will not learn in a normal tour. After that, you get to develop your shots in his studio. It's a must-do if you are in HCMC (I've done it twice).

My previous contract has ended.

It's been a good chapter but it's time to resharpen my edges and dig back into the things that matter most. Principles for 2026:

Democratize the workplace.
Design the world I want to live in.
Align with the converted.
(and of course, skate the world. 🛹)

Wheels are already in motion. More soon.
