Hello, I'm Josh. I live in Portland, Oregon and have been here since 2017. Before that I had the good fortune to live in San Francisco for many years, and Brooklyn for many years before that. My life is filled with family and community and music and bicycles and nature. I thank my meditation practice, my children and my friends for helping me feel grateful every day.
My career and work has centered around using technology in creative ways to help people. Since Summer 2024, I've collaborated with Jaron to build Soonlist, helping combat loneliness by connecting folks with events they see and organizing their possibilities. From 2012 through 2024 I helped build Aclima and make air quality data available and actionable for our most vulnerable populations. Before that I designed and built myriad projects with The Barbarian Group, with a focus on helping our clients use technology in fun and novel ways. Before TBG, well, that was a long time ago.
I don't live my life online as much as I used to. Some detritus lives on here and there. Isn't it fun to hyperlink old work and ideas? Here's an old journal. And this is some music I've made. Here, too. I used to curate images at this little project. Here's an old portfolio. Flickr was a pretty fun place to hang out back in the day. And twitter, occasionally. Once in awhile I wonder whether LinkedIn might be a fun social network. Maybe you could message me there?
