Former FAMILY TECH head of growth.
Reluctant minimalist.

What You’ll Find Here
No fluff. No fear-mongering. No “must-haves” unless they actually are.

Aesthetic – Will it live on your counter without contempt?
Functionality – Does it do what it claims, and well?
Clean Factor – Is it safe and sustainable?
