Nice story.
What happened?
I've spent too long working in ecommerce. This is where I keep the things I notice, pull apart, test and occasionally build. Mostly commerce, brands, technology, things I'm working on or curious about, and the messy bits in between.

I'm Chris.
I work in ecommerce, which after long enough has come to mean marketing, technology, operations, brands, systems and the commercial bits connecting them. This site is where that work shows up as writing, tools and the occasional project.
Occasional updates
New writing, projects and things I've made. Only when there's something worth sending.
No promises.
