Hi, I’m Neil.
I’m a design thinker, writer, and brand strategist working in Austin, Texas. I also podcast about this stuff, too.
I use words to design better experiences, while leading and building teams.
With a mix of agency and in-house experience, I connect the dots between design thinking, brand voice, product narrative and usability. I’m a hybrid thinker who collaborates with everyone from research to C-suite to turn insights into best-in-class work.
Here’s what I do.
Voice direction
Brand voice and tone, strategy statements and copy direction that lead to better craft.
Design sprints and workshops
Leading teams from insight to idea — whether it’s a product, a program or just looking toward the future.
Content Strategy
Frameworks for stronger user experiences and product storytelling, including AI model design.
