Thibaut Tiberghien.
I run Smplrspace, a data-visualization company for commercial real estate, and I'm building The Mesh, an opinionated context layer where the understanding you build with AI doesn't evaporate when the session ends.
When I paused recently to look at what actually interested me, fifteen years of work connected into one thread: making digital things and ideas tangible so they can be manipulated, understood, and decided on. Tangible user interfaces during my Master's in Germany. A PhD on semantic web technologies — knowledge structured as graphs you can navigate, where the shape itself derives new information. Years of data-visualization work. Smplrspace, which anchors building data to the space it describes and visualizes it in place. The Mesh, which turns thinking into a permanent, visible, addressable asset for the team, instead of letting it die in chat windows. Same impulse, different scopes.
I write here about knowledge infrastructure, the cognitive debt teams accumulate when they use AI without substrate, what agent-native teams actually require, and why design-led companies win in their fields.
Smplrspace's first hire was a designer, at a stage when every hire was existential. The bet has aged well. The same instinct shows up in the work I admire most: design as judgment, not decoration. What gets left out matters as much as what stays in.
