Hello, I’m Justin McMurray (aka @JuzMcMuz).
I like to start things and make things. For the last 15 years this has mostly been in the design and technology space, however in recent times much of the work has involved changing the way people and organisations work.
I’ve lived and worked in several countries and am very happy to be back home in sun-drenched Sydney with my beautiful wife Meg (and of course Ziggy and Lucy).
Current Work
Early Days – Director/Co-Founder (Sydney)
We help companies explore and validate technology opportunities. This is not an abstract exercise. We get our hands dirty making, piloting and prototyping. It might involve inventing a new digital product, rebooting existing products with fresh tech, or designing new tools to help your business run smarter.
