Graphic by instinct. Systematic by design.
From the first sketch to the last fastener.

01 / THE WORKBENCHONE MODEL. SHARED PARAMETERS.

Different tools.
Same itch.

One assembly. Three ways of thinking.
Change a parameter. Follow it through.

LAYOUT / RULES / PARTS — ONE CONTINUOUS PROCESS.

Keep the game
at the table.

A combat tracker for in-person D&D.

I’m building a shared view of initiative, HP, and encounter images—with the DM in control and players in the moment.

SAME SESSION. DIFFERENT PERMISSIONS.

One source of truth. The right information, on the right screen.

SKETCHUP / CUSTOM ADD-ONS

Tools shaped by the work.

I’ve built several custom SketchUp add-ons tailored to sign-industry workflows.

02 / THE PERSONALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS

See the problem.
Build the system.

I’m Oscar, a designer and engineer drawn to technical design and drawing. Graphic design shapes how I see; over 20 years in the sign industry shape how I build and solve.

I look for the problems a few steps ahead: the part that won’t fit, the information that gets lost, the task someone has to repeat.

Then I build the system that makes the next step easier.

The kitchen is another workshop: classical French technique, a curiosity for the science, and an eye for the plate.
