What's at the top of my attention this month.
work
The big one is NORD v2. I'm rebuilding the agent system from the ground up, layer by layer. Phase 1 (foundation) shipped this month. Phase 2 (enforcement hooks) is in progress and is where my head will be for the next several weeks.
At Nordic Design Collective, PATTRN is launching into beta this summer. AMPLIFYR development starts in June. The agency pipeline is active. A few client projects landed and shipped recently. A few are in discovery.
I'm also building this site. dsmith.ink is new as of late May 2026.
writing
The book is in chapter-1 edit. The personal-brand blog launches once I have content staged and the visual identity feels right in production.
