In 2026, one of my personal goals is to improve my writing. So, I started a newsletter, Lasting Work. This week, I'm reflecting on invisible work. And the question I’m asking is:

How is relational and socialization labor distributed in organizations, and what are the structural conditions under which this labor remains invisible or uncompensated?

Presence Feel People, Not Just Messages Presence is an interaction concept exploring how digital communication can feel more human.

Instead of static profile icons, people exist as living, responsive orbs that gently move and react to your attention. When you hover over someone, they respond and reveal themselves.

Built using Figma Make, this project reimagines presence as something you can feel not just see https://swipe-roman-23840657.figma.site #FigmaMakeathon

FORMLESS is an experiment in removing tools completely — letting space become the interface.

It’s a small step toward rethinking digital interaction.

Here’s a closer look at FORMLESS in action — from polygon morphing to independent corner control and depth layering.

This report was prepared for a nonprofit arts organization seeking funding guidance. It identifies fourteen grant opportunities across four categories, including federal, state, private foundation, and corporate giving programs, with priority ratings and strategic context for each. The report also includes a recommended action plan with clear next steps and a companion grant tracking spreadsheet. This is the foundation every grant engagement starts with — thorough research, clear strategy, and a roadmap the client can actually use.

Sample created for portfolio demonstration purposes.
