↖ THE COLLECTION

Make the connection mean something.

A small map of the principles behind my work. Connect two ideas and discover where they lead.

CHAPTER 01

A small map of how I work.

People, technology, and trust show up throughout my work. Connecting them here is a way to explore what they mean in practice, rather than leave them as a list of values.

Select two ideas to create a line between them. Each relationship reveals a principle, an example from my work, and a place to explore further.

If it looks interactive, it should have something to offer.
CHAPTER 02

Connect two ideas.

Choose People, Technology, or Trust, then choose a second dot. The line you create reveals a principle and a real place it shows up: Stoute Web Solutions, HIPAA Compliant Hosting, or the person behind them.

There are three connections to explore. You can revisit a pair, clear a selection by choosing the same dot again, or start over. No timer, no right order, and no need to finish before exploring the rest of the site.

THREE THINGS I BUILD AROUND

What connects my work?

Different businesses. A few shared principles.

PEOPLE + TRUST

Stay for the long run.

Honest conversations and long relationships matter to me. The systems are only useful if they work for the people behind them.

A little more about me
CHAPTER 03

A little less decoration. A little more meaning.

  1. THE INVITATION

    Make the action clear.

    Named dots are actual buttons. The instructions tell you what to select and what will happen.

  2. THE RESPONSE

    Show what changed.

    Your line appears, a specific connection is explained, and the count records which relationships you’ve explored. Selecting the same pair again does not inflate the count.

  3. THE WAY OUT

    Let curiosity lead somewhere.

    Every revealed principle includes a relevant destination. With JavaScript unavailable, all three explanations and links are readable directly.
