Hey folks! I was featured on Hodinkee last week. It's so nice to share my work with a wider audience that might not be familiar with it!

Friends, please join me to celebrate horological innovation with the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in May! I’ll be delivering the Morse Historic Design Lecture.

https://www.cooperhewitt.org/event/the-morse-historic-design-lecture-designing-the-sublime-mechanism-risk-and-wonder-05-16-2019/

With ingenuity and design came reflection on our place in the universe, the tilt of the earth’s axis, precision and predictability, and the limits of our cognitive capacities. We engineered mechanisms to navigate our oceans and map the cosmos, explore metaphysical realms by animating the dead and rendering forms from the golden mean. We generated machines of wonder that could play music, make magic and conjure bird song. We made devices for detonating the first manifestation of manmade existential risk, destroying living organisms by the millions.

Through examining the connections between a diverse set of objects, we will trace the story of craft and the science of horology, demonstrating its pivotal role in design through the ages.
