STORIES · DESIGN · USEFUL TOOLS

Urban Survivors.

I’m Brandon Lawes. I make videos, share lived experience, and work with AI and programmers to design tools that help people feel less alone, understand difficult situations, and make everyday life a little easier.

MAKE MEANING

MY WHY

When your capacity changes, the world rarely redesigns itself for you. So I started redesigning my corner of it.

HEALTH

I build from inside the problem.

Living through neurological symptoms and chronic sleep disruption changed what I need from technology—and gave me a reason to make tools that respect real human limits.

DESIGN

Clarity can be an act of care.

Typography, hierarchy, and motion should help people understand what matters. Good design does not ask an exhausted person to work harder.

BUILDING

Ideas deserve a working version.

AI-assisted development helps me turn personal workarounds into products, research systems, and experiments that other people can use.

AREAS OF INTEREST

The threads I keep pulling.

Hand lettering & typography

I draw letters and build visual systems that make a message feel unmistakably human.

Video storytelling

I study the psychology, structure, and craft behind a video that earns attention instead of demanding it.

Health journey

Personal experience keeps me focused on tools, communication, and design that respect limited capacity.

Idea generation

I like finding a useful direction in the middle of an ambitious, messy conversation.

Creative partnerships

I am interested in thoughtful collaborators who want to build clear, meaningful work together.

THE MAGIC MOVIE

A short conversation that gives the work, the health journey, and the reason behind this site a more human beginning.

Help the work keep moving.

Support gives me more time and capacity to document the journey and keep building accessible tools.
