I'm Ash Martin. I like building things. Over the years that has meant starting companies, designing products, writing software, working with hardware, and spending a lot of time figuring out how ideas turn into real objects.
I'm most interested in projects that sit between worlds. Physical and digital. Art and engineering. Serious and experimental. Some become businesses. Some stay as prototypes in the garage. Both are worth doing.
This site is a collection of notes, projects, and thoughts in progress. No roadmap, no theme, just whatever I'm working on right now.
Previously at Stride. Currently working on Vanguartisan and figuring out what's next.
- Building Vanguartisan Redesigning the reading experience with better typography controls.
- Writing more, publishing less Trying to develop a consistent practice before worrying about audience.
- Reading: Ways of Seeing John Berger. Late to it, but it's landing hard.
I'm slow to reply but I do reply. If it's about a project collaboration or something you're building, I'm especially interested.
