Connecting disciplines.
Seeing patterns between technology, human needs and the physical world. Turning unusual questions into experiments worth testing.
About Zach | Chasing Utah
Inventor was always the dream.
The work has taken me through a few different worlds. That hasn't changed what I wanted to become.
I learned from field work, solar, roofing, construction, real estate, sales, design and countless conversations. Each new discipline taught me to notice a different piece of the same puzzle.
Today I'm still developing ideas, trying small experiments, looking for people with missing expertise and figuring out which real problems are worth solving. I'm interested in more than any one industry.
Meeting people where they are.
Years in sales, recruiting, field work, homes and real estate taught me to listen, follow through and connect complementary expertise.
Making things understandable.
Creative work, theater, marketing, visual storytelling and bilingual conversation help turn difficult ideas into something people can connect with.
See what's there.
Start with people, physical reality, constraints and what can actually be observed.
Find what's missing.
A question, a collaborator, a different field, a practical route into the problem.
Try something real.
An experiment, a qualified introduction, a better decision or a useful first version.
Independent. Interdisciplinary. Curious.
I'm not presenting myself as a team of engineers, a hiring agency or the official representative of every organization I've met. I may help connect relevant people, but introductions require mutual agreement.
Where referral or consulting compensation applies, it is agreed and disclosed as required. I keep unreleased invention details private.
Tell me what you want to make possible.
Keep the first note simple and non-confidential. We'll see whether the next step is a conversation, a test or somebody better suited to the work.
