Studio Tufani
An interdependent knowledge and digital asset studio.
Publishing research materials, visual systems, and design assets for researchers, designers, artists, and cultural workers — especially those working outside institutional gatekeeping.
We maintain structured archives, publications, and research artifacts designed for long-term use, personal study, and ethical sharing within trust-based networks.
Releases are deliberate — governed by consent, clarity of use, and ethical stewardship.
ABOUT
How I got here
I trained in tae kwon do and Chinese kempo as a teen, and studied graphic design at seventeen, developing precision and visual fluency.
University sparked a lasting passion for mysticism and Eastern philosophy, while the mid-1990s brought HTML—first curiosity, then a practical tool to help local projects online and sustain myself.
Through my twenties and beyond, paranormal inquiry, metaphysics, and world indigenous wisdom deepened my understanding of cultural and unseen patterns.
Midlife formalized this path with structured metaphysics training, now enhanced by generative AI in design, research, and content creation.
Today, Studio Tufani is a custodial, interdependent space: a repository for insight, a cauldron for practice, and a platform where substance precedes form, and meaningful engagement is the standard.
* Build a small site you can update yourself
* Organize archives, multimedia, or research for your work
* Provide occasional help or technical updates if you want
I’ve spent decades working with web content, design, and digital media — from small church sites to corporate publishing, freelance development, and my own creative projects. I know how practical skill, steady work, and attention to detail can make a big difference. Now I apply that experience to support people quietly, steadily, and sustainably.

PRACTICE / WHAT WE DO
Studio Tufani develops and maintains research materials, visual frameworks, interviews, and reference artifacts.
Work emerges through interdependent processes — drawing on collaboration, prior archives, lived experience, and careful review — rather than speculative production or performance-driven output.
Materials may take the form of writings, diagrams, digital assets, sound-based work, or archival records, depending on context and need.
CASE STUDIES
Case studies document selected lines of inquiry, development processes, and applied thinking within Studio Tufani.
They may include excerpts from research notes, design decisions, ethical considerations, and contextual constraints rather than finished outcomes.
Case studies are presented to support understanding, reuse, and dialogue — not as demonstrations of authority or completeness.

If you’d like a simple, practical site for your project, or help keeping your work online, let’s have a short conversation.
ARCHIVES & MATERIALS
The studio maintains evolving collections of notes, interviews, case documentation, visual systems, and process records.
These materials are organized for clarity and traceability, with attention to consent, attribution, and appropriate boundaries of use.
Some materials are public-facing; others remain restricted or contextual, depending on ethical and practical considerations.
ETHICS & BOUNDARIES
Studio Tufani operates with explicit attention to consent, scope, and appropriate reuse of materials.
Not all work is intended for circulation, publication, or adaptation. Boundaries are considered part of the practice, not a limitation of it.
Ethical questions or permissions may be addressed through direct inquiry.
PAYMENTS & SUPPORT
If you’d like to support my work or your project, there are a few ways to do it. You can make a private contribution using Monero, or support publicly via Open Collective. Everything is optional — the most important thing is that your project is supported in a way that works for you.
