When it comes to creating change, being prescriptive doesn’t work in complex environments. Here’s what does.
Creative Pursuits
Blowing up my world and seeking out new adventure
“In my mind, I just put in my resignation letter to the leadership team at the company I’ve contributed to for the past three years.” In January 2016 I was preparing to leave my job and set out to forge my own path. Here’s what I wrote to myself just before setting out.
Design thinking is a way of being
Things I don’t ever want to hear again: “Let’s do some design thinking.”
Doing the thing
Do good work, with good people, and the rest will take care of itself.
Creativity — Why Gap Time Is So Important
In this always-connected environment we live in, it’s more important than ever for us to set intentions and make sure we’re making space for our brains to disconnect, unwind, wander, and connect dots.
On doing, trying, and making ideas happen

Sometimes we need to get lost in order to find ourselves
Everyone goes on their journey and has that moment where they ask themselves “what’s next?” and “where do I go from here?”. And that’s perfectly OK—and probably “normal.”
The Paralysis of The Internet
Bombardment of information; never ending messaging with friends; constant onslaught of attention-stealing notifications. These are a few of the time sinks of the modern world.
It’s Ok If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going
One man’s (extended) thoughts on why we should slow down, take life one day at a time, and become comfortable perpetually exploring our identities, passions and lifestyles. Told through a life story and personal journey, so buckle up!
Life Isn’t About Working
There’s no path of least resistance. There’s not even a path. We’ve been placed in the middle of a giant forest, with very few tools for navigating, and told to survive.
Creativity & Community in Philadelphia
As I spend my time exploring Philadelphia I’ve noticed our city has a vibe unlike anything I’ve felt in the past. As such, I’ve recently identified a personal mission: Make cool shit while helping construct a better world.
