About me

I’ve spent much of my career in media leading creative departments: writers, designers, photographers, editors.

Managing creative work taught me a lot about how people actually function inside organizations: how good ideas move forward, where things get stuck, and what kind of structure helps rather than gets in the way.

Over time, my attention shifted from making individual things to shaping how work happens across industries.

Creative thinking has always been central to how I lead problem-solving, working through ambiguity, building practical systems, and helping teams adapt as conditions change.

More recently, I’ve been thinking deeply about how technologies like artificial intelligence effect creative work and human judgment.

Through The Grain, I explore those questions with a focus on usefulness, clarity, and helping people navigate change thoughtfully.
