Projects & Interests

Urban development and the built environment

Neighborhood design, housing, transportation infrastructure, walkability, construction technology, growth patterns, and the public and private infrastructure a city runs on.

• Trivium Development

  Where I am a partner: custom homes and boutique real estate development.

• Develop Nashville

  How Nashville is building: the projects, the data and the risks.

• BYLD

  Construction software that keeps the schedule, budget and field on one set of numbers.

• MobileFlow

  Software for how people coordinate and move through a city.

Clothing and interior design

What people wear and the rooms they live in are part of the everyday environment too. The topics I am working through:

• Presentation and confidence
• Access to clothing, and dignity
• Craftsmanship
• Reuse and circular commerce
• Interiors and well-being
• AI-assisted design

Health and everyday environments

Health here means the environment a day happens in: the food nearby, the route, movement, rest and the group. It is a question of design, not medicine, and nothing on this site is medical advice.

It is a central idea of Sweetgrass Roots, and of the essay in progress on the habitat before the habit.

Technology, AI and organizational design

How organizations are designed: the records they keep, the approvals they require and the recurring work that can be handed to software, with a named person still accountable.

• BYLDERS.SI

  Managed AI operations, built in the systems a business already uses.

• How I think about software and tools

  The rules I build by, at every company.
