Barrett Lyon / Founder / Artist

With the support of my parents and early identification of my learning [dis]ability, I was able to gain techniques that helped me function in a world that's typically not built to suit my way of thinking. I'm dyslexic.

Today, I consider myself a technology generalist and an idea factory. I have been able to use my technical skills to create digital sketches of my concepts, which act as alpha stage products or become companies with a focus on my overall goal: To improve the functionality of the Internet and with it — society.

The Internet is not perfect; the protocols are antiquated and immature. Security was an afterthought, and the hub-and-spoke networking has enabled censorship and control over data like never before. That doesn't mean we should abandon it or give up, and it means to continue to design and innovate.
