Info

From Toronto, figuring it out in NYC. Also on Letterboxd and Instagram. My product design FAQ is available, but it is in need of updating. For other inquiries, you can contact me and I'll do my best to email you back. ​

Leaderboard On my website, I generally refer to people by numbers to maintain some level of privacy. (There are exceptions if I'm referencing work or giving credit.) If you make a good attempt to guess, I'll tell you if you're right or wrong about your own number. I don't disclose other people's numbers, unless you figure it out yourself. This is the list of people who have found their number:

  1. 0149
  2. 0002
  3. 0385
  4. 0427
