About
I'm traveling East Asia to sit with people whose work and families are being rearranged by machine intelligence, where meaning is being affected the most. Interviews, essays, and analysis will become a book and an archive of the conversations.
Impact
Our sense of what is possible keeps narrowing. Feeds did it first, models are the second layer, and we approach the biggest handoff in our history. Strengthening the hope deficit requires storytelling & positive outcomes our world desperately needs.
Progress
I published Moving Through Transition in August. 169 pages, written and designed in two months on an $18,000 grant with Octant x EF. Spent a year and a half in Vietnam to build in-person community of over 1000 people who meet daily.
Team
I told stories within the Ethereum ecosystem for 4 years. Sensing where the world is heading by truly listening to people. I've spent the last 4 years using and researching AI daily; now I'm putting it into action through creative projects.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
