I’m a kiwi! I'm currently a design technologist at Punchcut, having graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design.

All that I do is grounded in a concept I call bloomscrolling to awakening.

Bloomscrolling is my term for the opposite of doomscrolling, relating to the blooming of a flower, to flourishing. Awakening is used, in addition to the spiritual sense, to refer to the cultivation of meaning, to the complexification of thinking, to falling deeper in love with the world, and much more.

I’m interested in digital tools and the magics of the web. How might we make tools and environments that, just by using them, entice and enliven a new way of being?

This might be through periodically tending to a set of questions, or through having more effective tools for learning, or through a better way of co-evolving collective knowledge as we extend how we can dialogue online, or through prompting the expansion of our space of possibility so we have more ways of not just maintaining our sanity, but actively raising the baseline of our happiness by tenfold.

I’m currently focusing on the digital because I think that since the medium of computers is simulation, its fluidity and reactivity holds potentials that can greatly enrich how we relate to ourselves and to one another. This is important because I believe that interdisciplinary collaborations between people and ideas are key to sparking unthinkable thoughts, and the web is unusually good (and can be even better!) at making such connections.

All of this work is connected to the meta-crisis, and to my very tentative theory of change.

Thank you for swinging by, I hope to hear from you soon ✨
