  6. your right hand

I started my career in STEM, designing municipal lighting and military helicopters, then moved into product and experiential production. Now I take ideas from unclear and chaotic to live and in the world.

house rules

  1. [01]

    The best systems are the ones you use

    I build for how you actually work, simple enough that you keep using it after I'm gone.

  2. [02]

    If it matters, it ships

    I keep the work moving until it's done, and I tell you early when something is stuck.

  3. [03]

    Trust is the product

    Your name is on the work, so I hold it to your standard and tell you plainly where things stand.

  4. [04]

    Find the real problem

    I ask a lot of questions before I recommend anything, because the first problem you name is rarely the real one.
