I spend most of my life in front of screens. Strategy decks, websites, ad campaigns, analytics dashboards — it's all pixels. Fast, creative, and mostly invisible. You ship something and it lives in the cloud. You tweak it, relaunch it, optimize it. Nothing is ever really finished and nothing is ever really real.

Making Sawdust is the other side of that. It's woodworking. It's a workshop with real materials, real tools, and real consequences. If a joint isn't square you know it immediately. If you rush a finish it shows. There's no undo button and no algorithm to blame. It's slower in the right ways — and honestly, that's the whole point. This is where ideas stop living on a screen and start taking up space in the world.
