A couple of months ago, I announced my upcoming departure from the Crowdhouse group here in Switzerland.

Since then, like most of us, I've been observing the industry as it undergoes a multitude of adjustments, including team restructurings, company downsizings, layoffs, and noticeable shifts in the tone and focus of company strategy and communications. Lots of activity, with some pretty unclear outcomes navigating substantial changes in global events, new technologies, and changing business environments.

At that time, I expressed my desire to connect with founders, creators, and innovators tackling large and challenging problems, particularly in areas like climate, energy, education, social, economic, and other future-focused sectors. I haven’t found a suitable match yet, and am continuing to focus on industry research and my own side projects.

Since this upheaval in many product and technology sectors may take a while to stabilize, I'm keen on continuing to make connections and determine where I could best contribute to new initiatives.

I'm currently available for consultation and advisory roles with small teams and individuals interested in harnessing design and experience strategy in complex problem spaces. These areas have a significant potential to improve people's lives and meet future needs, and are where I would like to focus my experience and energies.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like to chat, or share more about the problems you're trying to solve. If you are planning or working on something really interesting, I am also available to informally review and support foundational design and research activities.

Wishing everyone a solid and positive start to what looks to be another challenging and momentous year – hang in there.
