It started with watercolors. A brush. A bit of quiet during Covid.

Five years on, I still paint—most days. Not because I’m good.
But because it gives me something I don’t get anywhere else:
a little solitude, a little surprise, and the sweet surrender of control.

Watercolor doesn’t care for perfection. It bleeds where it wants,
spills outside the lines, and runs wild in places I wish it wouldn’t.
But sometimes—just sometimes—it yields something beautiful.
Not exact. Not flawless. But real enough to make you feel.

That’s the analogy we came back to again and again when designing Reflekta.

What Watercolors Taught Me About Legacy

The image and likeness of someone you loved doesn’t need to be pixel-perfect.
It just needs to feel like them.

A wry smile.
A gesture.
A turn of phrase.

A pie.
A presence.

Watercolors taught me that imperfect reflections can still move us—
sometimes more than perfect ones.

So yes, I still paint. I always will.

But I’ve also helped build something else:
A new kind of canvas. A new kind of brush. A new kind of memory.

Reflekta: Capturing Essence, Not Just Accuracy

Reflekta isn’t just about data. It’s about essence.
Like watercolor, it reminds us:

What matters most doesn’t need to be precise.
It just needs to be present.

With Reflekta, we don’t aim for sterile precision—we aim for emotional fidelity.
That’s where the soul lives.
