Welcome to

Mark Lawler Development

This site is a working record. Some projects here are finished. Some are methods I'm still testing. Some are just open questions I'm sitting with long enough to see if they hold up or fall apart. I don't polish out the uncertainty. That's usually where the dishonesty starts. The work here covers food, media, and systems, but it all comes back to the same problem: how to build well inside real constraints. Time, attention, materials, weather, money, people. The limits aren't negotiable. The work is to respect them without getting cynical or theatrical about it. If you're here to see what I can do, the evidence is here. If you're here for a clean story, this isn't that. It's more like a bench with tools on it than a portfolio with explanations.
