MY ART

Still very much
a pencil person.

I’m all in on what AI makes possible. I also love sitting down with a piece of paper and making something by hand.

Drawing gives me a different pace. Something to look at closely, work through slowly, and make just because I want to.

A few things I’ve made ↓

THE MARK BEHIND THE WORK

My initials.
My favourite tool.

The pencil is part of my logo for a reason. The K and J bring my name together with a part of me that exists well beyond a job title.

It belongs here alongside the product work. The same person who cares about a tiny interaction also cares about a line, a shadow, or getting an expression just right.

WHAT CONNECTS THE TWO

Creation makes something.
Intention gives it a reason.

Whether I’m drawing or designing, I keep coming back to the same questions: what should someone notice or feel, and what would make this better?

New tools give me more ways to explore. Drawing reminds me to slow down and look closely.

Different tools.
The same attention.
