What I am currently up to.

Refreshed roughly every quarter. If you read this and we have not spoken in a while, it is probably a fair sense of where my attention is.

Currently working on

A diagnostic engagement with a B2B SaaS team that has shipped fast for two years and is now trying to figure out what the product is actually for. Quiet week of listening, written reframe at the end.
A small redesign for an early-stage product where the team disagrees in the work but not in the room. The real deliverable is the conversation, not the screens.
Two mentees through ADPList, one weekly, one monthly. Mostly career-shape questions at this stage.

"Continuous Discovery Habits" — Teresa Torres. A re-read; the opportunity-solution tree keeps earning its place.
"A City Is Not a Tree" — Christopher Alexander, from 1965. Still the cleanest argument I know about the cost of imposing tidy hierarchies on actual life.
A long thread of Frank Chimero essays, in their original form on his blog. The writing reads even better a decade later.

How much of what teams call a "redesign problem" is actually a "we have not asked the underlying question for two years" problem.
Whether the small, durable practices (writing a one-sentence brief by hand, three real user calls a week) are more useful to teach than the big frameworks they often get bolted onto.
A working draft of an essay on "fog reduction" — why the language of less in product is harder to write than the language of more.

Full-time roles. Not closed to interesting conversations, but not actively looking.
New mentees this quarter — the two I have are getting all the attention I can spare.
Speaking engagements unless the audience is genuinely the right one. Reach out if you think it is.

This page is part of the /now movement — a small convention where people keep one page that says, plainly, where their attention is.

Tell me what's going on and what a good outcome would look like. A short email is enough — I read every one and reply within two working days.
