Careless People
A cautionary tale of power, greed, and lost idealism
My book collection
Reading has always been a big part of how I learn and reflect.
This is a collection of books I’ve read over the years — design, product, personal development, and fiction.
I usually give books away once I’ve finished them. If you see something you’d like to read, feel free to reach out. If I still have it, I’ll be happy to send it to you.
