Hello, I’m Jorge Arango
I bring clarity and alignment to UX design projects by using architectural thinking. In addition to my consulting practice, I’m also an author, podcaster, speaker, and educator.
This site is my online home and public scratchpad. Among other things, I write about:
- Information architecture
- Design as a strategic practice
- Systems thinking
- Products, institutions, and societies that stand the test of time
