Cinematic diaries, brief essay readings, and visual criticism in motion.

These clips are the site's shorthand: quick visual notes that don't always earn a full essay but still shape how I think about design, attention, and the things we scroll past without noticing. Some come from ideas that later grow into longer pieces here; others are just observations that only make sense in motion. I'm treating this as a working sketchbook rather than a highlight reel, so some entries will look unfinished, because they are.

About

Design Sentiments is my space for thinking about design, visuals, and the systems that shape how things look and function.

It sits between practice and reflection. Part sketchbook, part written log, part critique of the visual world we move through every day.

I’m a visual artist with a strong interest in software design and digital systems. Most of what I write comes from that overlap, where aesthetics, tools, and behavior start to blur into each other.

This isn’t a place for fast opinions or constant output. I’m more interested in ideas that hold up over time, even if they are unfinished or still forming. Some thoughts only make sense after you sit with them for a while.

Design is everywhere. Not just in objects or interfaces, but in how attention is shaped, how choices are framed, and how meaning is constructed through visuals. This project is my way of paying attention to that.
