I want my words to turn into money.
Why I write.

“What’s the point of your writing?” a friend asked me. And I didn’t know how to answer.
I initially started writing to boost my profile as a hedge against the tech downturn. Then writing turned into a way to organize my thinking. Then it turned into a way to connect with others.
It boils down to this: I want my writing to make YOU money.
If the stuff I write is interesting to you, we would connect, and then I would help you solve a problem that would make money for both of us.
And you will make way more money than me.
I’ve made some great connections by writing here. So it definitely starts conversations. But my process is more like shooting in the dark and getting lucky.
I’m going to experiment with being more methodical around my writing process. Being “sales-y” doesn’t give me energy. I’d rather geek out about the future of designer and tech. Less theory, more making.
So what can I help you with? Design and AI Agents. I missed the initial internet wave, the smartphone wave, and web 2.0 wave. (I don’t mind missing the crypto wave because I don’t understand it). But I feel really good about the AI wave. Yes, there’s a ton of hype, but there’s also a ton of opportunity. I believe we can build software that feels more intuitive, more personalized, and more powerful.
I’m excited to design again.
I’m always up for a conversation, or a collab. Let’s chat.
