A workshop in Dalvík, Iceland

Hi, I'm Holly Valz, a Sparksmith.

What is a Sparksmith?

A Sparksmith is someone whose ideas arrive whole, as a finished picture all at once. Instead of building up step by step, a Sparksmith starts from the finished result, works backwards to find the path, then walks it forward and makes it real.

Ready to try

Each one started with a gap someone was falling through.

On the workbench

Still being built. Shown openly, because the process is part of the work.

The Method

The gap is what's missing: the problem people are stuck on, or the thing nobody has fixed yet. The bridge is the solution that gets them across.

I see the gap, and I build the bridge.

  1. SparkI notice a gap others overlook.
  2. IdeaI work out who and what belongs together.
  3. PrototypeI build it fast with AI and test it.
  4. LiveReal people use it.
