Why this site exists

Most portfolio sites begin with a pitch. Mine did too. Every attempt to summarize myself more impressively started to sound less like me.

There is a place here for products, systems, launches, and lessons from work. I am proud of them. I just do not want a list of accomplishments to be the first thing someone learns about me.

I am a builder. Most things I make begin because a problem keeps showing up and I get tired of having it. The useful story is what happened next: what I tried, what failed, what changed, and whether the result helped anyone.

This site also needs room for the rest of life—for running, sports, Seattle, photos, and the days I want to remember. The work belongs here without becoming the whole story.

So the site no longer tries to argue that I am the best. It shows what I build and lets the evidence speak for itself.
