About / Brian Thompson
BrianBrain is a professional and intellectual home—not a polished hero’s journey.
A place for the work, stories, ideas, and objects that make my life intelligible.
The recurring pattern
Enter things.
Learn how they work.
Try to leave them better.
Sometimes that means changing accessibility governance inside a large institution. Sometimes it means learning to sell ice-cream sandwiches to a stadium. They do not need to carry equal professional weight to belong in the same life.
The material
Four ways into an open book.
The categories overlap on purpose. A piece of writing can also be evidence; an object can unlock a story; a professional project can change an idea.
Stories
Kalalau. Waikiki. Montana and the Airstream. A daughter’s birth. A four-hour commute. A sailboat. Work that went right, and work that did not.
Thinking
Accessibility as a foundation. Institutional change. Education. Disability. Human connection. The ideas that become clearer only by being tested.
Objects & interests
Moose, books, music, cooking, motorcycles, tools, decks, paintings, haiku, and the quiet pleasure of building something that works.
A way back in
If you’re interested in connecting send me a note.
Good luck and take care.
