This process was so helpful as we’re making a decision about where we want to live long-term. Jordan is an incredible facilitator and provided us with the tools to make a choice we feel confident about.

My partner and I have been stewing on certain life decisions for awhile - and Jordan helped detangle the mess in an stress-free, logical, and organized way I didn’t know was possible. His patience and empathy makes him the best possible partner in your decision-making journey. Please take the jump with Jordan - you’ll be so incredibly happy you did!

Jordan’s guidance through his design thinking process felt both natural and clever. The frameworks to rigorously categorize and prioritize the whirlwind of thoughts around a big personal decision were especially interesting.

My partner and I had been going back and forth on some big life decisions, feeling stuck in the process. Jordan made everything so much clearer, breaking things down in a way that felt easy and natural. He has a way of guiding you through the mess without any pressure, just a real sense of understanding and support. If you’re struggling to figure out your next steps, I can’t recommend him enough—you’ll feel so much more confident moving forward.

What is design thinking and why does it matter?
Design thinking is an iterative creative process popularized by Stanford’s design school. It consists of frameworks that empower us to better define problems, generate solutions, and then test our assumptions. For decades now it’s been the driving force behind your favorite products and it can be applied to your life!
In addition to helping us reframe problems, realize false dichotomies, and find energizing ways forward — design thinking exercises improve our relationship to making “scary” personal decisions. Getting into a creative mode helps our brains switch out of anxious-overthinking, because being generative requires presence of mind.
“Being creative is the opposite of anxiety.”

About Me
I studied art and architecture at Harvard, before building a career in product and design. I worked at Capital One and Facebook, founded a product studio, and was employee #1 at a successful AI start-up. In 2023, I realized I was running on fumes and my health was deteriorating. I’d been sprinting towards an elusive achievement finish line for a decade without a clear why.
I hit pause to evaluate my relationship to productivity and purpose. What I'd initially conceived of as a quick re-charge, evolved into an expansive multi-year experimentation. I underwent a "de-programming" from intense hustle culture and embraced curiosity as a compass — redefining success as self-awareness vs. output. I’ve iterated my way into deep practices in painting, investing, and design facilitation.
I’m now committed to helping others design their way through uncertainty in a judgement-free and joyful environment.
Current Offering
Based on your application, I’ll reach out for an introductory call.
If we’re a good mutual fit, I like to start with (3) 60-minute sessions spaced over a month. We’ll need space between our meetings to reflect and iterate. I’ll be available for texts and check-in’s throughout.
The work is tailored to you, but a rough roadmap looks like this:
Clarifying your decision
Generating and weighing options
Devising experiments
