Bikepacker

Most weekends you'll find me loading a bike with far more gear than necessary and disappearing for a day or three. Bikepacking strips travel down to the essentials: a route, the weather, and whatever fits in your bags.

There's an obvious parallel to design work — you plan as much as you can, then adapt constantly once you're actually moving. The best routes, like the best products, rarely look like the ones you sketched out the night before.

Favorite trips so far have hugged the North Sea coast and wound through the river deltas of the Netherlands. Longer routes across Europe are next on the list.
