I'm Fox Bright, and this is where I keep the lessons I teach on technological design — written to be clear on their own, and paired with video when seeing it move makes it click.

The goal is simple: give students a single, calm place to learn the tools and the thinking behind good design, at their own pace, whenever they need it.
