About Build This Next
From napkin sketches to actionable concepts — ideas worth building, shared openly.
Why this exists
I have spent over a decade and a half jotting down ideas on what the world needs — either as improvements to products that already exist, or brand-new products that deserve to be brought to life. This is my space to share those ideas openly and freely, to help communicate concepts that might spark action or collaboration.
What you’ll find here
A collection of ideas on how the world around us can be improved — with a bias toward digital-first concepts, though physical-world ideas will appear too.
Ideal outcome
Ideally, those who own the existing products take it upon themselves to build the improvements I’m suggesting. And where those products don’t exist, I hope there are people who choose to bring them to life.
Note
Feel free to reach out and engage me in an advisory capacity if seeking more hands-on involvement — especially since I have thought through some of these product concepts in great detail.
I write about how products can be better — fixing what’s broken and imagining what’s missing.
If this made you notice something broken or missing, you can subscribe to Build This Next to receive future essays directly.
Subscriptions are the only true ongoing signal I get that this work is valuable to others.
And if this sparked an idea, take a few seconds to share it — it might change how someone else builds or sees products too.
