26th October 2021: UPDATE – I am consolidating all my writings on Obsidian Publish and have stopped updating this blog. You can check out my online “notebook” here.
I help design and build digital products for a living. As an extension, I also spend time learning the art and science of building the culture and community at work, alongside honing the many crafts it takes to put a digital experience together at Deloitte Studios. An amateur poet, anxious parent of two, apprentice non-dualist, and an aspiring golfer, I occasionally post my thoughts here on the culture, craft, careers, and well-being in a product studio.

I write weekly on Hey World on thoughts longer than a Tweet and shorter than a blog post.

I host live discussions on a Leher club, The Product Makers Circle, for 3500+ members. Here is a thread of key takeaways.

A couple of my consolidated learnings on building careers in product are up on Gumroad.

I post my slightly more unstructured thoughts on my poetry blog at breathe. feel. love.
