Selvage (n.) — The finished edge of woven fabric, where weft threads turn back on themselves to create a border that won't unravel. From "self" + "edge": an edge that completes itself.

We are living at an edge. This space between technology and humanity has become the texture of our daily work, creative practice, and how we make sense of the world.

Digital Selvage explores that border: where technology meets craft, where automation meets intention, where our human impulse to make things collides with systems that now make things too.

The writing here is about artificial intelligence and actual intelligence, about art, teams, technology, success and failure. These essays are reflections from inside the work, written by someone who builds systems, leads teams, and anticipates the outcomes of technical decisions we make today.
