Building Wayfinding Systems
About
Hello! I’m Jameson.
My day-to-day work focuses on helping teams tune the systems that support them—how they share knowledge, how tools fit together, and how operations stay nimble as goals change. Moving between product strategy, operations, and customer-facing roles taught me to translate between builders and the people they’re building for, and to test ideas patiently rather than chase hype.
Fundamentally, I still believe that all problems are systems problems. Taking them apart asks that we understand ourselves, the systems we create, and how those systems change over time. This process of understanding, experimentation, and reconfiguration is how individuals and groups alike address wicked problems.
My passion is for exploring the concept of emergence when looking at how people change the way they work with other people, technology, and methodologies. I keep returning to questions like:
- How can changing the way we think improve our ability to solve complex problems?
- How does changing the way we work (with others, technology, or the methods applied) magnify what we produce beyond the original goal?
- How can systems thinking unlock this pattern of improvement for others?
Writing here helps me explore those questions in public. This blog is an opportunity to develop my own voice, capture notes from the things I read, and connect threads long after a project has wrapped. It’s a humble practice: start small, learn quickly, and let real-world feedback shape the next step.
Thus the reason for this blog: to capture my notes, thoughts, and expanded conclusions based on the things I read, watch, and the people I meet. My focus on emergence comes from the belief that the habits we form around technology change once they leave the individual context; tools only matter when teams adapt them together.
My points of inspiration include:
- Tools for thought and the communities exploring them
- Douglas Engelbart’s vision for augmenting human intellect
- Yoga, which keeps me grounded and attentive
- Time in nature, a constant reminder to notice patterns and stay curious
That mix keeps me quietly motivated to keep seeking my fullest expression—showing up with care, listening closely, and refining the craft a little bit at a time. If any of this resonates, please reach out. I’m always keen to learn from others.
