share the table

I'm Leo Estevez — artist, co-founder of Small Green Door, collaborator, maker, mentor, and father. This year I made a few things: a book, an app, and a livestreamed lunch table in East LA.

Friction, the book

Friction — the book cover by Leo Estevez

The resistance is the point — the useful drag of making things, in work, in business, in family life.

Available now for pre-order. The audiobook is on its way — hear the first pages today.

Estimates
you're proud to send

Greenfield takes the guesswork out of quoting your work — clean, clear, beautiful estimates that win the job.

We hated making estimates — so we built the one we'd actually want to send.

Who's for
Lunch, live fridays

The Friday lunch table at the studio in East Los Angeles

We're the opposite of an NDA.
We run on an ODA — an open disclosure agreement.

Every Friday we livestream our lunch table at the studio. Writers, artists, musicians, rocket scientists — all thinking out loud about tech, food, art, philosophy, and collaboration.

Small Green
Door, the studio

A creative studio I co-founded with Dunja Dumanski in 2009 — brand development, product photography, and design for businesses trying to do things right. It started with concrete planters that got out of hand.

About

I grew up making things with my hands and never stopped. I built a studio with my wife, Dunja Dumanski. These days the best thing I make is time — for the work and the people I collaborate with, and for our son, Avo, our two dogs, and a good trail run.
