Hi, I’m Steven.

I’m a founder and designer based in Belfast. Since 2021, my primary focus has been Stora — software for self storage operators, now powering 550+ facilities across Europe.

Before that, most of my learning came from doing: launching startups, shutting them down, and eventually growing one that stuck. The through-line has always been curiosity—jumping into things I knew nothing about, trusting I’d figure it out along the way.

These days, I’m most interested in tools that expand creative output—whether that’s writing, software, video, or something stranger. Especially where AI, systems thinking, and momentum collide. I care about moving fast—but not at the cost of quality. Clarity, craft, and output can co-exist. That’s the space I like working in.

This site is where I share what I’m learning, experimenting with, or quietly obsessing over.

If you’re exploring similar ideas—or building something interesting yourself—get in touch. Always happy to swap notes, compare tools, or hear what you’re working on.

Current toolkit

We’re living through a revolution in how we work. New tools are emerging daily, and it can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming. Many worry about what this means for their careers, but I’m convinced that curiosity beats fear every time. I’ve always been drawn to experimenting with emerging tech—not just for my own benefit, but to understand how these tools can help others work better. Here’s my current stack of tools that help me think deeper, write clearer, create faster, and ship my work.
