Joe Elmendorf
Product Strategist
I help product teams and innovators think through complex ideas by giving them visible structure.
Through visual mapping and structured thinking, I transform scattered ideas into clear frameworks that get work done.
I create maps that guide the way and am a mirror that helps you see your own thoughts.
Outcomes of Visible Structure

Everyone sees and understands the same destination
