In this episode, I talk with Jude Pullen, an independent creative technologist who works with partners to make cutting edge tech simple and adapt old tech in interesting ways.

We talk about Jude’s sketching and visualization that helps him explore spaces he works in, filter details, and to communicate with clients and colleagues to create cohesive solutions as a team.
