Shift Perspectives. Redesign Reality.

What if the problem you’re trying to solve isn’t the problem at all?

What if the friction you’re feeling, whether it’s resistance, burnout, or the sense that something’s missing, is not a flaw in your system but a signal that it’s time to reimagine it?

       Who we are

Sonder Curiosity Architects is a tech-driven consultancy that helps individuals and organizations get unstuck from any problem by asking two deceptively simple questions:

 What if...?
and

Why not...?

Discover the Shift

Founder / Consultant Philosophy

Ian believes none of us truly “know what’s going on” and the labels we use to create meaning and navigate our world are also the source of our collective anxiety and exhaustion. Growing up mixed race in predominantly White spaces, Ian had a front row seat to people’s confusion and need to define “what” he was. He now specializes in creating content, strategies, and communications to better understand ourselves and sees every interaction as a chance to learn from the one-of-a-kind perspectives of others.

TESTIMONIALS

"Ian has a wild gift and obsession for the art of understanding. Before meeting and working with Ian, I don't know that I would have ever thought to consider the task of "understanding" as an art unto itself. When you see the output and practice of that art so clearly presented as Ian does, it becomes obvious that he does it artfully and virtuosically."

 

- Mike Else
(Senior Product Manager)

"Ian is a natural teacher with a passion and a gift for inspiring and developing those around him."

 

- Spencer Cooke

"He blends his teaching skills with great vulnerability and empathy that encourages open discussion and challenges us all to learn and grow."
