How I work
"Complexity is only a problem when it's hidden. Make it visible, make it legible, then let people act."
The pipelines, workflows, and calendars that make complex work repeatable at scale. Good systems make good people more effective.
The same information presented three different ways to three different rooms. Carbon tax economics for voters. Labor policy for frontline workers and executives simultaneously. Election outreach for 500K voters.
Sustained daily action builds more than any one-off effort. Restoring a truck, building and organizing a local union, outreach to hundreds of thousands of voters, raising children, and maintaining a fitness practice all run on the same principle of small consistent action over singular heroic efforts.
Field Notes
Occasional writing on civic systems, outreach practice, and what it looks like when complexity gets made legible.
