## About

I'm Charles, a product designer based in Chicago. I care about making interfaces and interactions that feel simple, clear, and enjoyable to use — especially in blockchain and AI, where these patterns are being designed for the first time.

I'm currently the Lead Product Designer at Stellar (https://stellar.org).

Previously at Warby Parker, Uber, and Weebly. I do my best work iterating fast with talented engineers, staying close to the thing we're making.

Introduction to RGB

2023

RGB is an experiment in digital ownership and color. The premise is simple: every color in the RGB spectrum — all 16,777,216 of them — can be claimed as a unique onchain asset.

Each token represents a single hex color. No metadata beyond the color itself. No generative art. Just pure, atomic color as an NFT.

The project explores what happens when you take something universal and abundant — color — and introduce scarcity. It raises questions about value, ownership, and what it means to "own" something as fundamental as a shade of blue.

The collection lives onchain and is fully open to mint. There are no roadmaps or promises beyond the art itself.
