Austin Jackson — Creator of KisaLove
Maker. Writer. Speaker.
I build parts on the shop floor and sentences in public. KisaLove is the name I gave the rule I actually use: Keep It Simple, Love.
This site is the map of the work — fabrication, books, self-help, and talks. Not a lifestyle brand. A record of what I make and what I'm willing to stand on a stage and say.
Memorial
Kisalove remembers
They say you die twice. Once when they bury you in the grave, the second time is the last time someone remembers your name.
So we honor our loved ones who still live in our hearts — friends, family, and even pets above. A quiet mission inside the simple love.

A Spoken Word Reflection
New on Substack: time, unite, and love — the Kisalove through-line in spoken word.
Physical first
The work
Fabrication anchors the writing. Shop-floor craft and inner life are the same skill in two rooms.
About
The short version
I work in precision manufacturing in the Portland metro — CNC, print reading, GD&T, and the unromantic details that decide whether a part is good. Fifteen-plus years in the trade, including aerospace and medical-grade tolerance work.
Off the clock I write. Kids' stories about kindness and backbone. Essays. Frameworks. A long argument that shop-floor attention and inner life are the same skill, used in two rooms.
KisaLove started as a family saying and became the public name for the work: cut the extra, keep the love, do the next honest thing. I'm not selling a personality transplant. I'm documenting what holds when life is loud — using the same feedback-loop thinking I use to hold a tolerance: intention, action, data, adjustment.
If you need a guru voice, this is the wrong site. If you want a machinist who writes in complete sentences, keep going.
