My work has taken many forms.
Some of it looks like leadership: hiring, mentoring, building teams that worked well together and did good work.
Some of it looks like design: solving problems with space, structure, and sequence; creating feelings with color, texture and rhythm.
Much of it looks like conversation: one-on-one, a person trying to move forward, asking for clarity, and sitting with hard questions until something useful emerges.
