A studio for following a thread.
I’m Will Simons, a software engineer, solo founder, and maker based in San Francisco. I’m building skateboard.fyi, an independent archive and research platform for skateboard print culture.
Code, wood, paper, light
I started skateboard.fyi in 2025 and began physical archival work that December. I develop the platform and the tools that turn magazine scans into searchable records.
My path has taken me through software at Glowforge, winters making things at Mars College in Bombay Beach, and back to San Francisco.
Have a thread worth following?
For collaborations, conversations, or a good idea that needs accompaniment.
