Hi, I’m Austin

I create apps. I write. I design merch. I host live trivia. And there's always other stuff too.

From the outside it looks scattered. I prefer it that way. But underneath all of it is the same impulse I've had my whole life — a feeling that something could exist that doesn't yet. An itch I can't leave alone.

I believe beauty is a form of respect. I believe gathering matters. I believe the world got faster and flatter and lost some things worth holding onto. Old architecture with too much detail. Neighborhood spots with actual personality. The feeling of a room full of strangers slowly becoming something together over the course of a night.

There's a version of the world I can feel more than I can describe. The way I live is just me trying to get closer to it.

I love people. Cities and nature and the tension between them. Sacramento. Weird, wonderful humans doing something slightly outside the expected script. Moments that feel like they shouldn't work but do.

This site is home for all of it. The things I've built, the things I'm building, and the ideas that keep pulling me forward.
