I want to focus specifically on the development of the covers for the first book series Operating in the Dark. The covers were developed inside one of my operating companies — Deep Digital Co, a studio working across creative direction, identity systems, interfaces, development, and marketing.

BLACK FIELD PUBLISHING is an independent publishing imprint operating in the fields of responsibility, power, and decision-making under pressure. It is not designed for mass consumption, entertainment, or simplification. Its function is to fix and articulate thinking where systems become unstable and simple explanations no longer apply. The imprint serves as a working framework for texts on management, strategy, business, and ethics — not as disciplines, but as zones of irreversible choice. T...

A year. Eight books. One closed operational system. Today we present the first completed cycle from BLACK FIELD PUBLISHING on Amazon. Operating in the Dark: Responsibility Series is not a collection of management books and not a motivational narrative about leadership. It is a constructed system of thinking about decision-making under uncertainty, constraint, and sustained pressure, written for conditions where responsibility cannot be delegated, information is incomplete, and consequences ar...

“Dark” in the Operating in the Dark: Responsibility Series is not a mood. It is an operational condition. It is an allegory for environments where clarity is structurally unavailable, not emotionally absent. Markets rarely offer full visibility — they offer fragments, lagging indicators, and often conflicting signals. Decisions therefore emerge through hypothesis testing, controlled exposure, and iterative adjustment — not through certainty. An operator works precisely inside that regime. Not...

Simply “wanting” a better career or freedom is pointless. Progress is not born from a single great leap. It begins with movement in something that truly matters. The creation of momentum is what separates the Operator from the dreamer. Most people spend years living in the mode of “someday,” while the system demands execution in complete darkness. Desire carries no weight. Weight appears only where action exists. Operating in the Dark is the ability to build structural systems under zero visi...

Structures rarely change. What changes are the positions from which they are observed. — Lexx Che Over the years people from different countries and professional environments have written recommendations about my work. What interests me most is not the praise itself, but the diversity of perspectives behind it. Former colleagues, founders, designers, developers, clients, and operators from adjacent industries often describe completely different aspects of the same trajectory of work. Some rem...
