Curiosity Is My Superpower

I'm all about diving in, taking apart, putting back together, and constantly learning.

May the best
Idea win.

In my practice, I encourage people to discover the unexpected connection, think outside their discipline, and pull the best thinking from the world around them.

Unanticipated information only adds to the richness of data.

One way or another, my varied interests strengthen whatever project I’m working on.

Creative Engine:

Emergent Design.

The real trick of design is learning how to listen. The work itself will tell you the solution, but you have to hone your ear by creating the best environment for the answer to emerge.

This can be done in several ways.
