Ask me about the “tortilla oat milk” cortado at .coffee — better yet, get down to Chicago’s La Villita (aka Little Village) and experience it yourself.

A few weeks ago I took a whirlwind trip to Guangzhou China (via Hong Kong) to help advise and assist a friend and collaborator on his latest project—but as it turns out I was really there to host a cook-out for the 16th century Chinese village we were staying in.

In 2025 I started “Timeless/Endless” — an experimental project with the goal of releasing 12 timepiece designs in limited edition batches of twelve.

The starting clock archetype for the series was a design that used custom bent aluminum brackets to “float” off the wall. I was able to create 6 different designs that used laser cut materials to explore various visual and interactive themes from perforations to textures to dry erase marker board and mirrors.

After 12 months, I was able to make 8 separate small-batch production runs (doing second runs of Nº1 and Nº2 for an exhibition in which they were featured). Although this fell short of the initial (somewhat aggressive) goal of 12 designs in 12 months, it felt like phase 1 of the project was complete, and it was time to pause and reflect on where I wanted to move next.

Timepiece Nº7 will be launching soon—all in good time.
