Custodian

This page documents the custodial practice behind the archive—spanning studio work and applied creative direction—where materials, decisions, and outcomes are treated as evidence.

Clearance Archive is maintained as a living record of objects, systems, and labor.

Custodial Practice

I work as a custodian across multiple contexts: maintaining archives, building systems, and documenting the conditions that produce objects and meaning.

My practice spans authored studio work and applied creative direction. In both cases, the focus is the same—designing structures that persist after authorship ends. This includes physical objects, identity systems, retail environments, publishing artifacts, and ritual frameworks.

Clearance Archive is one expression of this broader practice. It operates as a public-facing archive where commerce, documentation, and material culture intersect under real constraints.

Studio Practice

  • Portal 3000

    Ongoing
    Installation · Systems Design · Domestic Infrastructure

    Portal 3000 is an ongoing installation that stages domestic life under post-resource conditions. The work examines how care, habit, and meaning persist when efficiency, productivity, and accumulation are no longer the organizing principles of everyday life.

    The installation takes the home as both a technological site and a symbolic one—where decisions are embedded into objects, routines, and spatial arrangements rather than interfaces or instructions.

Applied Work

  • Tonal Rebrand

    2020–2021
    Creative Direction · Brand Systems · Identity

    Tonal is a connected fitness company operating at the intersection of hardware, software, and domestic space. The rebrand took place during a period of rapid growth and increased visibility, requiring the brand to function consistently across product, marketing, retail, and editorial environments.

    The brief was to create a system that could scale across channels and teams while remaining clear, specific, and grounded in the realities of the product.
