Artist-researcher + facilitator exploring technology, ecology, and wonder.

Synthetic Wisdom Studio is an creative research practice asking: How is AI impacting our psychological, social, and spiritual lives?
My current project is What We Tell AI: where I collected 400+ handwritten notes in public spaces, shopping malls, and AI conferences about strangers’  secret relationships with AI.  WWTAI received press from CNN, CNBC, Business Insider, Bloomberg, and Harvard Gazette.

About me →

I love to design spaces for collective meaning-making around technology, ecology, 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, I did Strategy + Project Management at OXMAN, a biodesign & 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. You can find me happiest roughhousing with a friend in a muddy field, or cooking up game mechanics for my next immersive theater event.
