Making Sense of Experience

After a long time in work, something often starts to feel harder than it should.

Not the work itself — but explaining it.

Shaping it.

Making sense of what it has become.

As experience accumulates, value shifts.

It moves away from tasks and roles and into judgment, pattern recognition, and sense-making.

The language most of us are given to describe our work doesn’t evolve at the same pace.

My work sits in that gap.

I work with experienced professionals whose work has outgrown the language they’ve been using to describe it.

I’ve written a short collection of essays exploring this tension.

Most of my work begins as a conversation.
