I'm a generalist. I usually contribute as a product manager/owner (with a technical streak) or a design researcher.
I create products like Knowsi and write Diverge Weekly. I make and sell softgoods at Mixed Method Equipment.
I consult on and teach about software products/teams with Stupid Systems for clients like IKEA, Cookpad, Mozilla, and Innovation Fund Denmark.

An initial look at a thesis idea exploring technical innovation and conflict. This will change a lot over time, but wanted to share the starting point.
Four big things happened in 2019. My son was born, Knowsi was launched, I started a grad program, and I learned a bit about how these different things came together.
