TW Atelier

Tony W.

By profession, I am a shipbroker specialising in olefins and gas, with two decades in Asian markets covering ethylene, propylene, butadiene and ammonia.

TW Atelier is my workshop: the tools I wanted and could not buy, and the stories I want to tell.

The tools worth trusting are the ones that know where to stop.

01

The Broker

Instruments for the desk, built by someone who has to use them at seven in the morning.

Olefins Outlook

A reference console for the East-of-Suez olefins market: producers, capacities, and the shifting map of supply across the region. No pricing, by design.

Systems for thinking clearly about money, health and decisions. Everything runs in the browser.

The Helm

A financial navigation suite: track net worth, project it forward through the accumulation years, consolidate at the turn, then test drawing it down. The full voyage from building wealth to living off it.

Today's Catch

A decision tool for eating out in Singapore: nearly 300 places with their signature dishes named, narrowed to three suggestions by area, diet, cuisine, budget and table size. For when nobody will pick.

The Author

Longer work. Slower than the code, and harder.

Emberfall

An illustrated gamebook. You are the last Emberwarden, carrying the final coal of a dying world. Choices compound, the world remembers, and bad counsel costs you something. Book One is out, with more to come.

Katabasis

A descent in chapters, drawn from Greek myth and written for adults. You are the child of a mortal woman and a god whose name you have never been told. Last night they took her. Illustrated in woodcut, released a chapter at a time.

The Little Cloud

A philosophical picture-book trilogy for children, illustrated by Kei. Restraint, effort and recognition, written for a child and meant to be reread by whoever is holding the book.

Saltwake

A second gamebook line. A one-way voyage with no way to sail back, a crew who hold every skill you lack, and a map that closes behind you. In design.

  • The Playbook of LifeTwenty-five entries across six chapters. What two decades of negotiating, being wrong, and occasionally being right actually taught me, set down for my son to read when it is useful to him rather than published for anyone now.
