My range has a through-line.
I’ve always been curious about how things work, especially the parts people stop noticing because they’ve gotten used to them.
Where the brain came from
My aunt raised me to believe curiosity mattered. She also taught me not to shrink simply because other people preferred cleaner categories.
That advice turned out to be useful. My career has moved through psychology, technology, UX, research, systems design, accessibility, product strategy, AI, storytelling, and a few places without particularly good job titles yet.
From the outside, that range can look chaotic. From inside my head, it is one system.
The through-line
I work in the seams between disciplines.
I’m interested in what happens when people, technology, organizations, incentives, language, and constraints collide. One team thinks the problem is technical, another thinks it is behavioral, and the person using the thing simply wants it to work.
That is where I am most useful.How I work
I ask a lot of questions. Usually the inconvenient ones.
- 01
What problem are we actually solving?
- 02
Who is carrying complexity the system should carry?
- 03
Which assumptions are evidence, and which became furniture?
- 04
What happens outside the happy path?
I turn those questions into something concrete: a product model, research framework, prototype, workflow, system, experiment, or occasionally a reason not to build the thing at all. I care more about making the right problem legible than making the wrong solution impressive.
Recognizing capability
I also help people see what they can become.
Some needed portfolio help. Some needed language for skills they already had. Some needed someone to notice their previous experience was not irrelevant, merely described badly.
People often have more capability than the systems around them know how to recognize.
A good design can change that. So can a good question.
A few things that keep showing up
Complicated systems. Unusual people. Unfinished ideas.
I build digital products. I experiment with AI agents. I design research systems. I write. I make physical things.
I occasionally disappear into a question and return with a framework nobody requested.
Somehow, it all keeps connecting. That has become the point.
