Portfolio · 2008–2026 · Minneapolis
From the brass-and-parchment years of 3232 Design to now: a song you walk through, worlds you tilt, a desk for novelists, and homes for friends’ work. Every one is live. Pick one and step in.
Story you find by moving: your feet, your phone, your head.
A song stands in the street around you, one instrument here, another there. Put on headphones and walk through it.
Bionik Music, for Northern Spark · Design and code
Made for Northern Spark in 2015 and rebuilt in 2026. No GPS? Tap where you want to go and wander. The 2015 version still runs at /classic/.
A circular story told on tiny planets of Minneapolis; tilt to travel. Worldmaker turns your own 360 photo into a world with story walls.
My own · Concept, design and code
The 2014 story still runs. Worldmaker (2026) lets anyone turn a 360 photo into a world of their own, with story walls.
The studio as a workbench: a brass instrument for a menu, an eye that follows you, rings you turn to choose a page.
3232 Design, my studio · Concept, design and code
The studio site from 3232 Design in Minneapolis, kept as it was now that the studio is Steampunk Design. The eye still follows you; the dial was mended in 2026 so it turns again.
Scrub the years and T. P. Healy's Minneapolis appears house by house, over the city's own maps from 1874 to 1906 and the old streetcar lines.
The Healy Project · Design and build
First built in 2013 on a spreadsheet feed; rebuilt on Leaflet in 2020. Houses appear in the year they were built.
Things made to be used every day.
A novelist's desk in a tab: binder, corkboard, margin notes, history, EPUB. It still opens a book written in 2013.
My own · Concept, design and code
Cowriter 2 (2026) is the desk; the 2013 app still runs at /classic/, and its books open in the new one.
A social network made of files you keep: you are a small file at an address you control, and limnus reads your friends' files into one conversation.
My own · Concept, design and code
No server, no company, nothing to sign up for. Made in 2021, brought back in 2026.
Live sites for writers, artists, a podcast, a house and a mattress maker.
The Historic Beardsley-Cartwright House: a Minneapolis Queen Anne's builder, owners, architecture and restoration.
The Beardsley-Cartwright House · Design and build

Design and build
Home of the Healy Map.
A novelist's site under a brass orrery.
Design and build
The 2008 version had a homunculus, a ouija board and an orrery you could talk through.
An illuminated notebook: the drawings are the frame, the menu and the doors.
Design and build
Drag a brass magnifier over the map of an Athenian empire that never was: steam guns, golems, Archimedes' heat ray.
David Constantine, for his novel · Design and build
Still live on the author's own server, as built. The magnifier wants a mouse.
Beds that bounce: a mattress maker's shop window.
Vintage Mattress Co. · Design and build
Screenshots taken in October 2026. Every picture opens the site.
