What do you do?

This question has always bothered me a bit. It suggests that... one, we are predominantly identified by our careers and.... two, we should have "a" singular job and/or focus.

Here's another / my take on "doing"...

I awake each morning reflecting on the day, life, and my kids — I appreciate their health, personalities, and tenacity in their ongoing discovery of who they are.

I'm a dreamer at heart, a creative by trade, and a problem-solver by habit. I hate inefficiencies and obsess over the "better" experience to be had. I am driven by the puzzle, not the prize. I have mild (to severe) ADD, and I tend to bite through the collar of my shirt when focusing.

I can't escape an awareness of the human experience. At first, I thought it was a symptom of OCD, or that I was beginning to recreate the "perfectionism" that I observed in my mother.  But after much (and I mean much) self reflection, I realized it was something a bit simpler...

I believe in the subtleties of life, the little things, the nuance. I am confident that feelings drive behavior over thought. And I choose to operate that humans are, by nature, good.

I'm an avid golfer. I play piano to unwind. And I love designing spaces to host humans being with humans — whether eating, drinking, or sleeping.

Sometimes, people pay me money to design shit, write words, and/or create a "better" experience for their customers.

And sometimes, I just do my own things.

If any of this sounds intriguing, let's talk. If it doesn't, it will come in due time.
