Technology is nice. It undergirds most of what we do at scale today. It’s a powerful tool for change, but much like money, it turns toxic when sought for its own sake.
I want to see technology do good. I think it can help people help each other. It can celebrate human qualities. It can empower artists over technocrats and foster individual craft over power structures.
Sometimes I get to do my part in the change, and sometimes I get to cheer from the sidelines as it happens. Hopefully, these letters will be a mix of both.

Right! Hello!
I’m Louis-André, I work as an independent digital designer and as a generative artist. I’ve been in the digital and digital-adjacent business for a bit over ten years now, first working mostly with biotechs, startups and large organizations. I’ve since moved away from the frenetic, speculartory parts of the industry, and have been much happier since.
There are lots of dispatches, so I think it makes sense for it to be The Kind Dispatch? You can change my mind though.
