I don’t let the tech become the voice, I let the voice own the tech. I sketch the idea first, then I upload it to the cloud. If the pixel grid tries to smooth the edges I cut it back, keep the bleed, the glitch, the typo—those are the fingerprints of a living story. And when I think tech is stealing authenticity, I just switch to hand‑written notes, then feed those notes into the digital frame. The canvas is a tool, not a judge.
