JAXIXVI
The person behind JAXIXVI

JordanAnthony.

Cincinnati / Writer & builder

I make books, build tools, and work through ideas in public. Sometimes the thought needs a page. Sometimes it needs a map. Sometimes it belongs on a sleeve.

JAXIXVI is where that work lives together. Each project has its own job; you don’t have to know the whole story to find a way in.

From Jordan’s public biography
“It’s true — we come from the history, but we also get to choose what happens next.”

A page. A map.
A sleeve.

The form should do something for the idea. Here is what each one makes possible.
