Catalogue · Entry No. 001 Vy Thai Berkeley · MMXXV

Reader —

This is a small, open workshop and its catalogue. I'm Vy, and I design and build things that sit between physical and digital: a 3D-printed utensil cuff for a shaking hand, a kerf-bent white-oak nightstand, an accessible form pattern used by a hospital, a design-system audit for a six-person startup.

I think of each one as an object in a field journal — context, what I made, what I'd do differently. The gallery holds the finished ones; this front page is the way in.

I write letters — if the work here resonates, you'll find the address on the Letter page.

Thank you for visiting, Vy Thai

Plate I. The maker, briefly

Three trades

ii. Engineer

Hover a mark above to meet one of the three Form follows the hand that uses it. Slats, splines, screen layouts — all the same discipline. Code and joinery both only work when they hold. Prototypes, tests, tolerances. White oak, hand tools, patience. The slow medium where I learn to see.
