About
Sense Datum, LLC is a consultancy focused on building the future.
The core of our practice is business design—using the principles of human-centered design to drive business strategy. We approach our work from the perspective that business models dictate the experience, so they should be designed with as much intent as the product or service and with an eye toward the future.
Our practice utilizes service design, user experience design, lean startup, and rapid prototyping methodologies to imagine the future and to validate the assumptions of your business model. Our process is iterative, collaborative, and user-centered.
We believe that digital transforms every industry, and that there is no longer a distinction between the online and offline world. From Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods to Patreon's platform for independent creativity to Waymo and Tesla's battle for the future of transportation, the digital revolution is here. Are you equipped to thrive in the new economy?

We believe in collaboration. No single person can accomplish world-scale transformation on their own, that's why we partner with the best consultants in their field when the scope of a project is bigger than a single practitioner can tackle. This keeps our team agile, flexible, and always staffed with the right talent.
Education
College degrees can signal someones capability or knowledge, but it's no substitute for getting to know them and discovering their passion.
