About Jonathan Bean
I was trained at Berkeley by a sociologist of architecture. I’ve worked in research at Microsoft and Intel, and as director of marketing at a pioneering retailer of sustainable building supplies.I am available for consulting and especially enjoy helping smart, driven people answer difficult questions.I have deep expertise in consumer taste and market transformation across a range of contexts. In current research, I explore how high performance building is transforming the American residential building industry; how Uber and other sharing economy platforms are transforming millennials\' taste for transportation; and how retail space transforms complex brands into consumable experiences.I have experience teaching undergraduate, MBA, and graduate students. Currently I teach building technology, high-performance design, and design thinking at The University of Arizona.I thrive on making sense of complex information and questioning assumptions.
