I am no longer interested in fixing myself. I am interested in living truthfully, without managing how I am seen.

My Motto
My Motto
Becoming Whole
Becoming Whole
Living Whole. Living True.
Living Whole. Living True.
I am a social innovator, cultural architect, and systems thinker. But before all of that, I am a humanist journeying with others into something more honest.
My path has moved through disconnection, rebuilding, and a quiet, fierce return to self. Today, that return is a lived practice. It is in how I source my herbs, the 10,000 steps I take to clear the fog, and the choice to be self-possessed rather than validated. I am no longer interested in performance. I am interested in the grit of the real.
The Digital Gaze: Technology & Appearance
The Digital Gaze: Technology & Appearance
Technology is not neutral. It is quietly shaping how we are seen—and how we see ourselves.
Today, AI systems filter, rank, and alter human appearance at scale. But what happens when these systems do not understand real human bodies? When they erase difference or reinforce narrow standards, they don't just distort an image; they distort our psychosocial well-being.
My work sits at this intersection. I examine how digital systems influence our sense of self and how we can design ethical AI that recognizes human complexity instead of simplifying it. We must build tools that support dignity rather than distorting identity.
