This is where I keep the tools I build for design students, teachers, and working designers. Some grew out of classroom problems I couldn’t solve with a textbook. Some came from the research behind my work on design education. All of them exist for the same reason: to make one specific part of the creative process less mysterious and more teachable.
Design is communication. Good design begins with thinking. Tools can’t replace either of those, but the right tool can get you to the thinking faster.
Available Tools
Design Intelligence Network
A standalone research and curation tool that pulls together the design conversation worth paying attention to — peer-reviewed research, industry reporting, practitioner writing, and classroom-useful resources — and lets you search, filter, and annotate what matters. Built for the designer who wants evidence to stand behind, not just opinions to stand beside.

Additional tools will land here as they move out of development. If you teach design and there’s a specific problem you want a tool to solve, the best way to reach me is through the contact form on the site. I read everything.
