My early training is in architecture, a career that has allowed me to travel across the world, designing buildings of all sizes and typologies. I’m a designer at heart and whilst it has been a fulfilling journey, I’ve also always had a ‘thing’ for tech. Growing up in the DOS era, I remember early memories of how I became familiar with the PC - by way of accidentally formatting the hard drive of my brother's computer.

Whilst I like tech, I also remain very low tech and I like to think this analog part of me has been important in the development of Inclr - a software that doesn’t seek to be quick and temporary, but rather tries to speak to the heart and walks at a slower pace.

In 2015, I began tinkering with iOS code. I saw how architecture had become increasingly more digital and I became interested in what scripts can do. By the end of 2015, I discovered I loved one aspect of coding - somehow, coding felt meditative, like being in a quiet "other world", away from the routine daily life. In some ways, coding was a similar zone to when I design architecture. I was coding every night and every lunch break, any chance I could get I’d be on the laptop.

One day I created circular menu. It was intended as a navigation menu for a design news app I was creating at time. I thought to myself, “Circles are an interesting shape. Single dimensional in that it's defined by a point and a radius. Architecturally they are difficult inclosures, but... what if... what if I put life into it?” And when I meant Life, I meant everything made up of life, information, space, feeling, freedom. If everything was bundled into interactive packages, it would represent Life better than what we currently have, singular data points with a search engine. This is the moment Inclr was born.
