Creating play spaces for being in-and-of the world. 


Currently


Synthetic Wisdom Studio is an emerging creative research practice asking: how is AI impacting our psychological, social, and spiritual lives?

AI is occupying roles once reserved for people: lovers, therapists, oracles. The attention economy is evolving into an intimacy economy, where AI services offer to fulfill our deepest needs for human connection. What happens when millions of people interact daily with AI in this way?

A cartoon I made about a future of AI-mediated love.

I create playful, sense-making spaces for people to access their own wisdom, agency, and values around how to relate to AI in the arenas of love, work, and self-actualization. As one participant said: "An AI event that feels very human."

About me

I love to design spaces for collective meaning-making around ecology, technology, and wonder. My new initiative Synthetic Wisdom Studio investigates AI’s impact on our psychological, social, and spiritual lives. Ecological, place-based teaching and community-building happens through Chimeras Collective with my collaborator Kyle Barnes.

Previously: Strategy/Research + Project Management at OXMAN, a nature-centered design & innovation company spun out of MIT Media Lab. I was Terraformation’s first intern, where I worked all summer in a shipping container-turned-seed bank. Before that, I supported founders at climate / deep tech VC Fifty Years.

I graduated in 2022 with a degree in Psychology & Environmental Studies from Harvard, where I founded the first undergrad design club and started a business for student artists to gain experience selling their work. 

Once upon a time I painted and made films. Occasionally, I moonlight as an NYC street performer either singing or clowning.
