Sometimes calling oneself a designer elicits an impression of purely visual design. That’s kinda only a fraction of what I do. For the last half-decade or so I have been working on complex problems for business leaders, scientists, and investors. Complex problems aren’t just difficult for the sake of difficulty, they come from the massive variability of being human. I do this work because most attempts to address these problems fail — they’re borne out of poorly conceived strategies, a lack of research, non-human-centred design, or just poor timing and bad luck. The nature of what I do is largely strategic, thus here’s a selection of work that I’m allowed to show you.
