What this is
Hand work, technology, and play.
Studio3607 brings together games, practical tools, and work made by hand. Each begins with something worth solving, learning, or making for someone else. All of it is here to be used, played, borrowed, or copied.
The 360 brings practical, creative, technical, and human perspectives together. The 7 leaves room for chance, play, and a little luck.
The reward is seeing the work become useful: a game shared around a table, a club that runs more smoothly, or a gift that becomes part of a family’s story.
Where it starts
It starts by noticing something.
Someone struggling with a task. A game that could teach as well as entertain. A part that needs replacing. A gift that should capture a person or a moment. I notice an opportunity, think it through, and build something to help.

Wildlife Monocular Calculator
Compare magnification, light, and field of view with an interactive simulation. Explore the tradeoffs before choosing a monocular.
Maker
Made by hand.
A bowl becomes part of the table. A growth chart records years on the wall. A first-day sign returns for another photograph. I like making pieces that find a place in someone’s home and become part of their family’s history.

Travel
Far from the workshop.
Photographs and notes from Africa, the Arctic, Greece, and New Zealand: what I saw, what was worth the effort, and what I would do differently.
Writing
Books and reference, at different stages.
Stories for younger readers, practical guides, and technical writing. Some are ready to read; others are still taking shape.
How the work runs
Care goes into the process.
Understand the need. Test the idea. Finish it well.
Prove the idea
Test the critical part first, before investing in the finish.
Test before committing
A dry fit before soldering. A test tile before the kiln load. A proof before a hundred copies.
Explain the choices
Check guidance against real use and explain the reasoning behind it.
Keep what you learn
Keep decisions and useful notes together so the next step is clear.
Build from a clear source
Keep a clear source for each design so changes carry through to the finished work.
Make the work traceable
Record what was tested and when, so others know what they can rely on.

What comes out of here
Games to play. Tools that make a task easier. Handmade pieces that become part of daily life.
The method
Whether I’m working in code, clay, wood, or glass, I start with the need, test the design against real use, and refine it until it works well.
The foundation
My background is in software leadership, product, and process work. The same habits carry into making and volunteering: understand the problem, help people make useful choices, and see the work through.

Ground rules
Your Data Is Your Data
This applies across the games, tools, and apps.
A card game doesn't need to know who you are. A calculator doesn't need your email. A tool that organizes your own material has no business keeping a copy of it.
Settings and work in progress stay on your device wherever the application can work that way.
