I’ve always been drawn to the stories we haven’t lived yet. My practice began in cultural foresight and speculative design: reading weak signals, noticing what’s shifting at the edges of culture, and building scenarios, objects, and prototypes that make possible futures tangible enough to argue with. Along the way, I told human stories through film too, with work that premiered at SXSW and reached audiences on Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

Eventually, imagining futures wasn’t enough; I wanted to help build them. That pulled me into product, first as a researcher and now as a Senior Product Manager in edtech, designing AI-enabled tools that help students make sense of their skills and navigate where they’re headed. It’s foresight at human scale: helping people picture a future for themselves, then giving them the next step toward it.

Alongside this, I run With not At studio, and I speak, teach, and critique wherever people are trying to think more honestly about what’s next.

I’m driven by curiosity, cultural nuance, and the belief that design is one of the ways we rehearse the future, imagining what’s possible, not just what’s practical.
