Verisonde is a multidisciplinary studio for clarity. We bring together research, systems thinking, design, and storytelling to uncover deeper truths and turn them into products, platforms, and practices that people can actually use.
The world isn’t short on information; it’s short on understanding. Headlines move faster than context, dashboards outpace judgment, and people are asked to take sides before they’ve had time to think.
Verisonde exists to slow that down. Across news, debate, travel, health, and reflection, our work is aimed at a single question: how do we help people see reality more clearly so they can act more wisely?
Verisonde operates more like a studio than a traditional firm. Some projects are internal products (like news, debate, or journaling platforms), others are collaborations, and a small number are advisory engagements for leaders who need a clearer picture of the systems they’re operating in.
In every case, the pattern is the same: understand deeply, think in systems, then communicate clearly.
Verisonde is guided by a small group of practitioners who care more about getting things right than being seen as right.
Principal & Founder
Rowan steers Verisonde’s overall direction and standards: intellectual honesty, long-horizon thinking, and a stubborn refusal to accept easy narratives. With a background spanning technology, security, and real-world decision-making, Rowan focuses on domains where facts are contested and the cost of confusion is high.
Director, Research & Strategy
Amira designs integrated research programs that blend quantitative signals with deep qualitative insight. She specializes in mapping complex systems—political, cultural, or organizational—into clear decision landscapes instead of partisan storylines.
Narrative & Insights Lead
Jonas turns messy findings into coherent stories and frameworks—for public-facing platforms like The Free Voice as well as internal briefings and reports. His focus: make the signal unmistakable without sanding off the nuance.
Around the core leadership, Verisonde draws on a small network of specialists who plug into specific projects as needed.
Data & Systems
Lena designs transparent, auditable data architectures and analysis pipelines for products like Travpo and NURP—so the insights users see are grounded in reality, not magic.
Ethics & Governance
Eli focuses on ethics, governance, and policy implications across the portfolio—from political content ranking to data retention in prayer and journaling tools—helping keep trust at the center.
Design & Experience
Mara oversees the visual and interaction language for Verisonde’s brands, ensuring that everything from The Free Voice to Thank You Journal feels coherent, calm, and genuinely human-centered.
