You can read more about the project here. For our initial run of 300 books meant for the entrepreneurs and advisors we work with, I was tasked with formatting and designing the final product. This project ultimately led to Dear Founder, which came out in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1542049764561-2Y10HEXENCPU7ER3VY3E/IMG_2299.jpeg Projects - Bat Box In 2017, I visited the Messel Pit in Germany, and wanted to make a replica of a backlit bat fossil I’d seen there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541658110915-AV7NZ7TRG61EELSHCMZG/IMG_2228.jpg Projects - iMac Aquarium On a trip to Goodwill to get rid of stuff, I saw a 1st-gen iMac aquarium tucked in a corner, and knew immediately I’d be coming back with more than what I gave away. A few years back I’d seen a kit available from Jake Harms (link), and had only been missing the iMac component. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541719723626-YLSG1TYGG6H10OPEM9NR/IMG_0441.jpg Projects - Very non-HOA compliant door opening device When I lived at my previous apartment, I had a problem with receiving packages. This would have been frowned upon by my landlord, but I used a combination of LittleBits (Arduino unit, 2 servo motors, and a light sensor), rubber bands, tape, Sugro, and Instamorph to build a system that opened the door for anyone who buzzed my unit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541696761801-PV0WHTKR11ZSBBKLD5TO/Screen+Shot+2013-01-11+at+2.00.26+PM.png Projects - Super Tree Bros In 2012, I read online about people who make sprite modifications of old video games, and wanted to see if I could do the same for Super Mario Bros. I would need a source that would have lots of characters and in-jokes, and so I landed on making a Stanford Band-related version of the game. Mario would become the Tree, coins would become donuts, and Bowser became this horrifying version of Oski. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1535343596158-GMBFIPAANTFRCWU9U7VP/IMG_5719.jpg Projects - Union Iron Works Replica Sign As a proud resident of Dogpatch, I wanted to create a replica of the sign outside of Union Iron Works, the iron shop that truly built and transformed this neighborhood at the dawn of the 20th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541698709790-ZR5IGEOJ4XBRMIKTF3DO/IMG_5849.jpg Projects - Replacement door number When I moved into my apartment, all the units in my building had door numbers that were made of ceramic. They were fine, but I wanted a door sign that would 1) fit over my door tile non-destructively, and 2) feel a little more specific to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541698207194-H4LGLQTRHDIO0BGFB4I2/IMG_4354.jpg Projects For Halloween 2017, I decorated my apartment in a mad science theme. For it, I created four versions of my dog Chewie. Pictured here is Chewie IV, a fetus in what used to be my jellyfish tank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541659236657-Q6VS0PVLADCDYN4WUMEX/IMG_0338.jpg Projects - Shipping Crane Table Because I live in Dogpatch, there are several shipping cranes within sight at Pier 70, the site of Union Iron Works. In honor of a couple of the more famous ones at what will become Crane Cove Park, I wanted to make a side table inspired by them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1542049169630-PCUHZDOY7A7T2RDQH7B9/IMG_2286.jpeg Projects - Bookshelves After moving to my new apartment, I wanted to build a set of bookshelves to match my desk, which became very critical as my apartment came with essentially no storage. Accordingly, I used African Mahogany and metal pipes that I painted black. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1603735882048-6XDZP1J3YUE3A3U6CNB6/IMG_6685.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1617031376368-YJN99MBBNYCGPHAX50QN/image-asset.jpeg Projects - "Out of the River, Into the Tank." My grandmother, Helen Webb, was a science educator who for several years ran the Jupiter Inlet Marine Science Center out of a former military barracks in Jupiter, Florida. She passed away before I was born, but in 2019 my aunt Christine shared with me this booklet she had saved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1619473247827-OZS54GQM5LJL9KMFYKE2/E945061D-F68C-498A-B7C0-2D29AFCA8657.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1636744951581-L0YPMBRPSNOY0WE1C4U1/image-asset.jpeg Projects - Central Park map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1669136056095-UFXMJAHWTDDHMZMHALPY/IMG_3619.jpeg Projects https://www.ktfoundry.com/chotto-motto-1 daily 0.75 2016-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464979921827-VSUMOBA4OQ183XFEUL1M/menu-1.jpg Chotto Motto https://www.ktfoundry.com/about daily 0.75 2022-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8356ea4cde7a86e1458d53/1541988156587-W2HQWDB86DOAIJYA86LR/image-asset.jpeg About Kevin and his dog Chewie in front of Goat Rock, which is believed to show signs of wear by migrating mammoths. https://www.ktfoundry.com/articles daily 0.75 2022-02-16
