02 What I do

What I can make for you

A

Tools people use

Applications that hold what your experts know and connect it to how your business runs: product selectors, configurators, quoting, engineering and field tools, instrument interfaces.

B

Learning people can apply

Curriculum, assessments and learning platforms, from personal-growth courses to employee onboarding with completion records and assessment results.

The story that holds it together

Part of every project, and available on its own. A clear, honest account of who you are and what you do for the people you serve.

I also help teams find where technology could simplify their work, connect their tools and support their goals. More on What I Do

Every project starts with paid discovery: we establish the objectives, the people the solution must serve, and the criteria we’ll use to judge the work. How discovery works

HORIZON Art and design The humanities Teaching Sales Technology VANISHING POINT

Where the perspectives meet

I’ve worked as a salesperson, a designer, a teacher, an executive director and a marketer. Working across those fields has shaped how I approach a problem, and the useful connections often emerge where those perspectives meet. Art and design help me imagine possibilities and give them a form people can understand and use. The humanities remind me who it’s for. Teaching shows me where people get lost. Sales keeps me asking what someone needs to understand, decide or do next. Technology is how it gets made.

Imagination and experience set the direction. AI has made the building more direct: I can turn a possibility into a working tool, try alternatives side by side, and refine the result with the people who will use it.

I founded a web design program and taught it for twelve years, led the development of an organization’s web platform, and built a startup’s brand, site and interfaces myself. The aim has stayed the same through every change in tools: give people’s knowledge a form others can use.
