Beliefs

Less but better. From products I use daily, to friends. It’s about quality over quantity, always. It means investing my energy, time, and resources into things that truly enrich my life, rather than spreading myself thin across countless superficialities. This philosophy brings clarity, reduces clutter, and allows for deeper appreciation of what remains.

Make good new things. This simple yet profound idea from Paul Graham resonates deeply with me. It captures the essence of meaningful work: creating something genuinely new and making it truly good. Not just iterating on the old, not just chasing trends, but contributing something of real value to the world.
