Learning about Ideas & how to Execute them. Engineering | Storytelling | Business

I’ve always carried a notebook.

Even in the field, covered in dust, surrounded by sensors, half-finished prototypes, and unanswered questions, I wrote things down. Numbers, equations, but most importantly stories: Stories on what worked, what failed, and why people believed in one idea but not another.

That notebook became a habit, and a philosophy.

I started seeing patterns. The best tech didn’t win. The best stories did. The inventions that earned trust from investors, clients, or the public were the ones that made people feel the science, not just understand it.

Today, I work with deep tech founders who are building the future but struggle to fund itThey have the technology, the patents, the research, but not the language that makes people believe in their vision.

Together, we translate their breakthroughs into narratives that attract consistent clients, funding, and long-term believers.

Like Erin who went from zero leads to 95% inbound, $500K in 1 month, and getting recognized by Nike, Ortholite, Ariat, and other global brands as a leader in footwear. Or Tyler who went from being a NASA outsider to being called “Da Vinci,” sealing a partnership with a former GE executive after a single story reframed his work.

Every project starts with curiosity.

We open the notebook, trace the idea back to its first spark, and build the story forward until it earns the trust it deserves.

If you’re a founder working on something the world needs to understand, let’s start there.

Your story might already have everything it needs. It just needs to be told the right way.

Let’s talk about how to make your idea believable. DM me or connect with a short note.
