Welcome to the Third Layer

Hi. I’m Alex.

I make things that help people feel more connected, curious and creative: board games, writing, guidebooks, workshops. And the occasional philosophical tangent. (Okay, not so occasional.)

If you’re interested in the weirdness of the creative process and how to make it easier, you’re in the right place.

Wander through the Library to find essays on imagination, procrastination, the Inner Critic, or the physiology or neuroscience of creativity.

If you like connecting with other messy humans, check out my board games. I designed them for conversation, connection, and lots and lots of laughs.

And if you ever want help connecting whatever dots you need connected — whether that’s creative thinking, communicating, or solving a problem in a more playful way — I do that, too.
