Stripping things back is a choice with a cost. What gets cut, who notices, and who has to live with it when “minimal” stops being a look and becomes a rule.
Process
How the work actually gets made: sketches, meetings, and the cuts that stick.
When a room full of slides cannot say what a pencil can. A case for drawing before the deck, and for the meeting that should start on paper instead of a screen.
A short inventory of software that survived, and the one that finally did not. Three tools I still open every week, and one I closed without a replacement.
