recurring characters

It is 2014 and you are in Los Angeles...

This is a story about the scripts we have a hard time letting go of and the moments we focus on, to the exclusion of everything else.
Through playlists, text messages, flowcharts, and other forms, recurring characters tells the story of one chaotic year and its reverberations.

Body of Work

Reflections at the intersection of process, productivity, and self-making.

I'm an artist; a new business owner; a podcaster; a former e-commerce director; an organizer-in-training. They're different things but the questions are all the same: how do I hold myself together through tough times? How do I work with other people? How do I keep showing up? How do I find joy? How do I get anything done? They're questions about work, which are really questions about existing in the world.

Craft a different relationship to making and getting things done.

Through DIY resources, groups, 1:1 support, and reflective writing, uncommon practice studio supports creative people (writers, designers, artists) to move away from toxic productivity bullshit and toward supportive practices and containers that reduce friction and make it feel good to make again.
