Hi, again. My career has focused on bringing value through design. Applying design to make fuzzy concepts coherent. For 15ish years, I’ve helped hundreds of smallish organizations organize their chaos. Now I’m at the enterprise scale with .

My interest in the gift economy stems from a desire to challenge the conventional business-as-usual practices. This alternative model emphasizes reciprocity over receipts. Trust over contracts. I envision a world where more aspects of life are free from the grip of money.

I enjoy blending on and offline pursuits. I apply permaculture learnings to my design work, like observing-before-doing, practicing thrift, and thinking holistically. The local ecosystem of my 1 acre yard continues to teach me about cooperation in digital landscape.
