Untangling
Most of what I do starts here. Things look simple on the surface, but don’t quite behave as expected. Progress stalls, conversations loop, and effort goes in without much movement. What appears to be one problem is usually part of something much bigger. These posts explore that underlying shape. The patterns, assumptions, and hidden connections that sit beneath the obvious. Not to neatly “solve” everything, but to see things more clearly and find a way forward.
- A decade of Bold Wise 22nd of April 2026 Bold Wise passed the ten-year mark this month, which felt worth stopping for. Looking back, the work has taken different forms, but the thread through it has stayed pretty consistent: helping businesses make sense of complexity and come across more clearly.

- Obvious in hindsight 11th of September 2025 Good design often disappears into the background, leaving outcomes that feel obvious only in hindsight, even when the path there was anything but simple.
- Refocusing 4th of February 2025 Fifteen years in, I’m reflecting on the work I do best: untangling complexity, shaping ideas, and helping teams find clearer direction.
