## Principles

- **Action.** Action produces information. Information controls direction. Do things to know you are doing the right things.
- **Attention.** Energy flows where attention goes. Focused attention brings clarity. Clarity brings truth. Truth brings power.
- **Breadth.** The lines of product, design, & dev are blurring. I don't limit my skillset. Tools are tools, & I use them to create the best product possible.
- **Depth.** Products exist in the world the brand creates for them. Every interaction is an invitation deeper. Everything is in service of the narrative. Control it, or it controls you.
