My two daughters have distilled down my entire career down to a single sentence:
“Dad gets paid to talk and draw boxes.”

I have been very fortunate to live in the space between a problem and a solution. Usually that space is filled with thousands of whiteboard sessions and meetings, lot of coffees, mostly frantic deadlines and yes, many connected boxes.
I have realised that my daughter’s summation is actually the most grounded way to describe what I do. Its all about solving problems -
