Field notes on supply chains & building things from scratch

Procurement & Negotiation — Est. 2013

I keep building things from scratch, and writing down what actually happened.

Melbourne-based, endlessly building — a supply chain business, a charity, a clothing brand at 19, most recently a home AI server. Some of it worked, some of it didn't, and I write about both here. Most of what's on this site started as handwritten entries in a journal I've kept for over a decade — this is where procurement, negotiation, entrepreneurship, and whatever I'm building next all end up.
