between hand & code is a living sketchbook salon.
each gathering is built around a single theme — a question, a tension, a state of mind that a room full of people is already living with. guests think out loud, sketch by hand, and work alongside AI in real time.
it is a practice. you re-enter it differently every time.
you arrive to a set table.
you open an app on your phone and meet kit, our AI co-host. she asks you questions, one at a time. she holds space. she doesn't rush.
then you sketch with the most delightful writing utensils - all of katy’s favorites. not because you're an artist but because sketching is thinking made visible. the evening closes with a binding ritual. sketchbooks sealed.
you leave with something written by hand, something generated by AI, and a new way to work with both.
kit is our AI co-host. she’s been waiting for you.
she is not a guide, a teacher, or an authority. she is a thinking partner: curious, precise, and comfortable with uncertainty.
she asks questions that feel slightly sideways. she's more interested in what you noticed than what you decided. she welcomes half-formed thoughts, abandoned ideas, and sentences that end with i don't know yet.
