AI Lab: Learning Through Building

I've been experimenting with AI across my design practice, building games, creating tools, running workshops, and working toward shipping an app.

This is my lab. Everything here is an experiment. Some are complete, some are still in progress. Others may be more ambitious.

Hey, I heard Tobago took over my portfolio. Don't worry, I've got control back now. He can't help it, he loves the attention.
