About Me

Drinking tea, recently.

I'm a teacher, writer, and experience designer based between Brooklyn and London (originally from the UK, which probably explains the restraint).

Before any of this, I spent a decade in music and talent - DJing, running events, then representing artists and speakers across Europe and Latin America. Somewhere along the way I noticed I was more interested in how people communicated than what they were selling. So I switched from remixing music to remixing information.

Now I run Wavetable, where we build learning experiences for companies rethinking how they develop people. I write Groove Theory, a newsletter for creative professionals figuring out how to do work that actually matters to them. I teach at business schools when they'll have me (Columbia, IE, UFM, and others). I sit on the SXSW advisory board, which mostly means I get to be curious about things before they're obvious.

The work usually involves some combination of storytelling, learning design, and whatever I can't stop thinking about that week. Keynotes and workshops through the Teaching page. Case studies and interactive experiences through Wavetable.

I also take on a small number of advisory clients - founders, L&D leaders, and creative teams who want an ongoing thinking partner as they figure out how to develop their people, tell their story, or navigate what's next. Not coaching exactly, more like strategic conversation over time. If that sounds interesting, drop me a line via email

If you want to get a sense of how I think before reaching out, the newsletter is probably the best place to start.

I'm a certified coach (ICF PCC), though I don't lead with that. Enneagram 5w4, if that means anything to you. I collect vinyl, box (southpaw), follow Crystal Palace FC, and do reformer pilates because my back, hips and most other joints demanded it.


Questions I keep coming back to

  • How do we make learning feel more vital than homework?
  • What do careers look like when the old paths don't fit?
  • Why do some moments stick while others just fill time?
  • Where's the perfect breakfast?

Some things I believe

  • Structure creates freedom
  • The room is smarter than any one person in it
  • Most training doesn't work because it's designed for compliance, not learning
  • Rhythm matters more than information
  • You learn more from what you notice than what you're told
  • Guides, not gurus
