Things I can help with

Not everything starts with a problem. Sometimes it starts with, "I've been thinking about something…" Bring me the half-formed idea, the what-if, or the thing you've been wondering whether you could actually build or do. I'll help you kick it around, ask questions, look at it from different angles, and start figuring out what making it real might actually require. It doesn't need to be fully thought through. That's kind of the point.

Chris is good at open-ended brainstorming, but the value goes beyond generating ideas. He naturally starts turning an idea around and looking at it from different angles — what are we actually trying to accomplish, who would this be for, why would they care, what would it look like in the real world, what would have to happen behind the scenes, what assumptions are we making, where might it break down, what could we simplify, and what would a realistic first version look like. He moves comfortably between creative brainstorming and practical implementation thinking. The goal isn't to immediately turn every idea into a project — sometimes the result is a clearer concept, a different version of the idea, a simple experiment, a phased plan, or even the realization that it isn't worth pursuing in its current form. The purpose is to help you think better about the idea, not just validate it.
