I study how systems shape thinking — and build frameworks to test it.


who i am

I build frameworks for things that don’t have names yet.Cross-domain isn’t the same as scattered. I go deep — just in several directions at once.I’m interested in problems that don’t have good answers yet. Once they do, I’m usually already somewhere else.My life is a little fluid — two young adult sons at home, a dog, documentaries, music, gig work. And somewhere in between all of that, I’m building.I want you to leave here feeling something.Amused would be great. Inspired would be better.Safe would mean I did it right.
