About me

I've spent the last decade doing one thing obsessively: taking things from zero to one. Three startups. A fellowship. A research project that turned into an academic paper. A digital public infrastructure initiative. Each one started as a restless idea — something I couldn't ignore — and I had to figure out how to make it real, from scratch, with no map. That process is what I now help others with. I work with people who have an idea they keep returning to — something they can see clearly, but can't quite shape into something they can act on. The problem feels too big, or too vague, or too risky to commit to without first understanding what it actually is. In a Personal Workshop, we do exactly that. We get specific. We name what you're trying to build, who it's for, why it matters, and what the first honest step looks like. You walk away with clarity — not a to-do list, but a direction you can actually move in. My background sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, systems thinking, and regenerative design. I've built businesses, run workshops, designed frameworks, and worked inside foundations and innovation labs. I think in structures, but I work with mess — because that's where most real ideas live. If you've been sitting on something and you're finally ready to look at it directly, this is the session for you.
