Writing

Straight from the work.

No content strategy. Just what happened, what I think, and what I'd do.

One piece every Monday. Client work, product builds, decisions, failures. If it happened it gets written up.

What I write about

Five topics. All connected.

PMF & Discovery

Finding the right thing to build before wasting time building the wrong thing. From real experience — client work and my own products.
