INNOVATION STATEMENT

I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel of re-inventing capitalism into a more inclusive and sustainable form. The form that we practice today, let's call it predatory capitalism, is not going to cut it for the long haul. A growing number of designers and business innovators are making real progress and I believe a better form is already emerging.

 

PIVOTAL MOMENT

Spending two years and a couple of million dollars building a software product that nobody wanted. An expensive and painful education!

CURRENT CURIOSITY

Biological design. Also sometimes called syn-bio, and bio-mimicry. I'm fascinated by the promise of "growing" useful and sustainable products from natural materials rather than "manufacturing" them.

SUPERPOWERS

Stubbornness, Optimism, Makers Mark
