Unlock the potential of mental models
So what are mental models, and why are they so crucial? Picture mental models as the cognitive blueprints we use to understand the world around us, make decisions, and solve problems. But why are they important? The mental models we use directly influence the quality of our decisions and, by extension, the outcomes we experience in life. Having a diverse array of mental models allows us to approach problems from different angles, enhancing our problem-solving capabilities and aiding us in making better decisions.
Make Better Decisions
I spent two years and over 1,000 hours researching mental models. I chose to write about 49, carefully selected for their value, and distilled them into an easy-to-follow primer.
These models simplify complexity and provide you with a clearer understanding of life. They also enable you to make decisions confidently and approach problem-solving more efficiently and effectively. Update your outdated mental models and equip yourself with a tool to transform your decision-making and problem-solving approach.

Hi, I’m

I believe clear minds lead purposeful lives. My mission is to share frameworks that bring clarity to decisions and purpose to life.
My Journey
I’ve walked diverse paths that converge around helping people see more clearly. From directing award-winning documentaries that transformed perceptions to leading product innovation at high-growth startups, I’ve developed a unique lens for understanding complex systems and human needs.
Today, I create tools for clearer thinking. I’m launching Re:Mind, a mental models system combining physical cards and digital tools that make powerful thinking frameworks accessible to everyone. I write children’s books that nurture independent thought, and I develop technology that simplifies complex challenges.
My Approach
As a storyteller, I capture the narratives that shape our understanding. As a product leader, I build systems that enhance decision-making. As a coach, I help others navigate their personal and professional growth with clarity and purpose.
In the high desert where I live with my family, we marvel at the world’s wonders together. I’ve learned that what we choose to frame—what we focus on—defines our life’s story. My work helps others find their most meaningful frame.
