Our democracy, media, and socials systems are in urgent need of rebuilding. To secure a sustainable and equitable future, we need to leverage the insights of science, the power of creative works, and the wisdom of collaborative, community-driven design.
I intend to do whatever I can, with everyone else who’s trying, to cultivate a healthy civic culture where ideas, imagination, and collective power can thrive.
A healthy democracy depends on a healthy civic culture.
I’ve spent fifteen years crafting a framework, coalition, and infrastructure to support civic flourishing. This site is a civic bat signal for those looking to co-create, collaborate, or support this work to find each other.

Key Pillars
The Work
CULTIVATING CIVIC IMAGINATION
Imagination, speculative design, and exploration are powerful cognitive and creative tools for supporting democratic agency and problem solving.
INSPIRING STEM IDENTITY & BELONGING
Our sense of belonging and connection to a space can filter how we engage with knowledge, misinformation, and invitations to explore new possibilites.
CRAFTING CREATIVE WORKS
Art, immersive experiences, and multisensory design provide opportunities for worldbuilding and storytelling that can transform complex identities and ideas.
