INFP - Enneagram 4W5

About Matt

I'm a designer, technologist, writer, and lifelong question-asker. I've spent more than three decades working at the intersection of buildings, information, and technology—from AutoCAD and space planning to CAFM/IWMS, workplace data, occupancy and utilization, and the systems organizations use to understand the places they occupy. Much of my career has involved translating between the people who understand the business, the people who understand the technology, and the people who understand what actually happens in the real world.

Outside of work, my interests wander considerably further: art, poetry, history, folklore, horror, old buildings, autumn, technology, philosophy, unresolved mysteries, and the peculiar experience of being here at all. Projects like **CAFM Advisors** and **The Dark Season** may appear to inhabit completely different worlds, but to me they come from the same instinct—to look closely, question assumptions, find patterns, and make connections between things that don't always seem related.

I've become increasingly interested in the territory **between reason and wonder**—what we can understand, what remains mysterious, and how much we miss when we're not paying attention. I don't expect to figure all of it out. I'm increasingly convinced that's not the point.

About this website

This is a playground for me.

For this iteration I was experimenting with AI and acting as art director. AI produced all of the images after multiple prompts and combinations of source material.

The aesthetic was inspired by reading a lot of gothic ghost stories and a poem called "anyone lived in a pretty how town" by E.E. Cummings.
