I'm turning 33 today.
took a short vacation to celebrate with my family and wrote a short article from the hotel with 3 lessons I wish someone had handed me at 23:
- Patience builds what urgency destroys
- Family first is a strategy, not a sacrifice
- God's timing is better than your plan
Feel free to read it here.

option 2 is great.
Before the finished object, there was resistance. Before the masterpiece, there were hands that refused to stop.
MADE is a cinematic exploration of the human obsession with creating things. A blacksmith. A weaver. A painter. A builder. Each one caught in the moment between nothing and something. Each one doing what no prompt can fully replace.
Built entirely in Kittl.
