The projects here are artefacts from an earlier practice built on design’s promise. Rather than being contained “solutions”, they become sites of inquiry where I explore their assumptions, biases, and underlying belief systems.

A.02.

These projects share a grammar: the designer identifies, intervenes, improves. They assume clarity is possible, that problems are discrete, and that solutions can be designed without redesigning the conditions that produce the problem. They operate within what I now recognize as design's modernist inheritance—a belief in progress through objects, in legibility through systems, in help as a form of authority.

Through the naturalization of particular political economies and devaluation of other knowledges, “improvement” often becomes a mechanism for reinforcing the logics it claims to soften.
