STRIXFORMES
Strixformes

I study structures.I build them too.

Strixformes is the name I use for the structure behind what I create. I build companies, products and systems, but I do not think any one of them explains me. I am interested in what makes things behave the way they do — the relationship, the rule, the feedback, the observer. Sometimes that question becomes software. Sometimes a business. Sometimes philosophy. Sometimes it stays a question until I understand it better.
