This is my personal studio — @inkxel is where the rest of me lives.
I've spent fifteen years moving between entertainment, tech, and agency work — type design, creative direction, systems building — and at some point stopped treating those as different jobs. Polychrome is where that shows up on its own, outside of client work.
Two things happen here. I take on creative, strategy, and technology work directly — the same blend, just without an agency's org chart sitting on top of it. And I build the tools and open standards that work runs on, in the open, so anyone else building similar things doesn't have to start from zero.
Precise by default. Chromatic on discovery.
Most of what's here is quiet on purpose — black, white, exact. The name is the joke: many colors, almost none of them visible until you actually look.
- foundry — a harness: the room an agent runs in, mounting a knowledge bundle from outside.
- agent-kit — an agent is a directory. The open, runtime-agnostic shape for one.
- dotKnowledge — an open, portable knowledge-bundle format, OKF-conformant.
- knowledge-kit — the template for a
.knowledgebundle: self, client/brand, or project. - brand-kit — one repo, four sub-kits, for codifying a brand's motion, design, voice, and personas.
- skills-kit — how a skill gets addressed from an agent or a bundle.
- qwertease — QWERTY-aware, easing-based typing timing. Types like a person, not a metronome.
motion.md (the motion sibling of Google's design.md) lives at inkxel/motion.md — personal, not studio.
More of this is still private, mid-sort. It opens up as it's ready.
I design typefaces and take on freelance creative work under the same name — see tvcker.com.
