What I Do

Four disciplines,
one perspective.

Every project benefits from the cross-pollination of architecture, design, music, and systems thinking.

01

Architecture

15+ years designing spaces that work — from healthcare campuses to transit hubs. Licensed architect, spatial systems thinker.

02

Graphic Design

Brand identities, visual systems, and design language that bridges the gap between concept and communication.

03

Music Production

32+ years producing electronic music. Ableton, Beatport, deep structures of rhythm and sound. The reason everything else exists.

04

Systems Thinking

Complex problems need frameworks, not just solutions. Startup founder, AI integrator, pattern recognizer across domains.

Every discipline is a lens. The value is in using them together.

Architecture taught me to think in systems. Design taught me to communicate clearly. Music taught me to trust intuition and structure simultaneously. Building startups taught me that none of it matters if you can't ship.

Abstracti exists at the intersection of these practices — not as separate services, but as a unified way of seeing problems. Whether it's a building, a brand, or a business, the approach is the same: understand the system, find the pattern, make it real.

About

Jason Englund

Architect, graphic designer, electronic music producer, and founder — based in Minneapolis, MN. I've spent 15+ years designing buildings and spaces, 32+ years producing electronic music, and the last several years building startups at the intersection of technology and creative practice.

Previous ventures include 20/20 Visions, JE Design, Little Antenna LLC, and SkyMesh LLC. Abstracti is the convergence of everything I've built — a creative consultancy that brings architectural thinking to every problem, whether it's a building, a brand, a business system, or a beat.
