Spatial computing isn’t just a new category of hardware.
It’s a new creative medium.

It reshapes how stories unfold, how environments are designed, and how ideas can be experienced. As a motion designer, I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of image, sound, and time. Spatial feels like the next evolution of that language adding space, presence, and interaction into the mix.

For years, I designed inside a frame.
Composition had edges.
Attention had direction.
Time moved forward on a timeline.

In spatial environments, the frame dissolves.

The audience isn’t looking at the work.
They’re inside it. Discovering it.

That shift changes how you think about staging, pacing, emotion, and control. It forces questions about perspective and agency. It asks you to design not just visuals, but atmosphere.

Over the past year, I’ve focused much of my work around the Apple Vision Pro and building spatial experiences and learning the tools that support them. My background in 3D motion has helped, but spatial design demands a different mindset. It’s less about spectacle and more about presence. Less about directing attention, more about shaping environments.

It’s early.
It’s experimental.
It’s occasionally awkward.

But that’s what makes it exciting.

Spatial Moments is where I’ll explore this medium in progress.

I’ll share process notes, experiments, reflections from building apps and prototypes, and ideas around immersive storytelling and emotional design. I’ll highlight interesting tools and voices, but this won’t be a news feed or a dev log.

The goal is to think about spatial as a creative discipline.

Over time, Spatial Moments will expand beyond writing. I’m developing a podcast to bring in other designers and creative thinkers navigating this shift. Spatial deserves conversation, not just commentary.

If you’re a designer, a brand exploring immersive work, or simply spatial-curious, I hope this becomes a useful place to think alongside the medium as it evolves.

We’re at the beginning of something that will influence how creative work is made and experienced.

And I want to document that frontier from a designer’s perspective.

Welcome to Spatial Moments.
