Ortus, ablative — at the moment of rising
the hour when new things rise & are born.
ortu comes from the Latin for rising and birth; .me points to the person behind the work.
A one-person workshop where new things rise and take form.
Small gatherings where people can step outside professional labels and encounter new perspectives through honest conversation. I built the website, registration, and member experience; the first gathering is complete and a community is taking shape.

Mac app · Not publicly releasedAbout
I once traveled with a guitar, writing and singing songs from Taiwan's Pacific coast to the mountains of Yunnan.
Today I travel through different domains with a laptop—finding unmet needs and using design, AI, data, and automation to redesign workflows, rebuild systems, and imagine better experiences.
I am an explorer who loves to create. This is where new things begin to rise.
