How to reach me, and a few things worth knowing first.

Most of this page is for recruiters, hiring managers, and reporters. If you just read something here and want to say hi, skip all of it and write. Short is fine.

Other channels

Email works best. The rest exist, but they're slower.

Before you write

The questions I get most, answered, so you don't have to ask.

What tier do you work at?
Happy at Precocity, but always willing to chat. Head of Design, VP of Design, Chief Design Officer, Chief Experience Officer. Executive roles, in other words. Not interested in IC work (unless you're LEGO or a major streaming service), management below Director, or contract work outside what Precocity already does.
Where do you work from?
Dallas (where I live), hybrid with travel, or fully remote. Relocation is on the table for the right leadership role, international included. I will not relocate for a fast-growth startup whose runway is the recruiter's main selling point.
What makes a company worth the conversation?
Design has earned a real seat, and the CEO can name three things their best designer shipped last quarter. Flagship consumer and tooling companies clear that bar — LEGO, Netflix, Apple, Airbnb and their equivalents — and so do traditionally "non-tech" operators like John Deere, Caterpillar, and Maersk.
Will you do a take-home?
No. The work on this site is the take-home. I will do a paid, time-boxed advisory engagement at any stage of the process if it helps both sides decide.
Do you speak, write, or advise on the side?
I speak now and then, when it's the right room. I write here and on Precocity's blog. I advise by introduction. I won't come on your podcast unless you've actually read something here first.
A note on response

I read every email that lands here and reply within two business days, even when the answer is no. If a week goes by with nothing, it didn't arrive. Send it again.
