I like solving hard problems. The tangled ones.

About
Too many stakeholders, not enough budget, a deadline that already passed. The tougher the better. A blank page doesn't slow me down. Constraint does the sharpening. Most of what I do is subtraction: find the few decisions that matter, and protect them from the hundred that don't.

thisisanon.comHow I work
Liberty through constraint.
A budget that won't stretch. A site that won't move. A place with a history it refuses to forget. Those aren't the walls closing in. They're the walls holding the thing up.
The last ten percent. 90 99
The part no brief requires and nobody consciously notices. The word swapped for the truer word, the photo reshot because the light was lying. It's the only part that makes people stay.
Work
Plain Spoken
I write when there's something worth saying. Not to keep a schedule.
