鏡道 Way of the Mirror

My name is Wil. I’ve been keeping journals for as long as I can remember: long-form, notebooks and fountain pens.

The Way of the Mirror is a collection of essays drawn from those journals. Old entries are revisited after time has passed - some of them, decades in the making - reinterpreted through distance, nostalgia, and whatever time has taught me since.

I live in Canada, and spend time in Kyushu, Japan with family. Much of what I notice comes from the ordinary rituals of daily life: paper, objects, handwriting, the way things age.

I’m a product and experience designer. The act of noticing, iterations, negative space — they shape how I see and how I write.

If you’re new here, start with any of the essays.

There's no schedule, only when something is worth sharing. For those who wish to support my work, expect no less than an essay each month.
