HI THERE

I'm a curious generalist who has had a non-linear life and career. I'm attracted to working with people who are alive to themselves and the world, and working on issues that matter to humans and the planet.

I most often think about economics, ecology, spirituality, and systems — both large (concentration of capital and power) and small (slime mold, mycelium, the body).

​

You'll find me writing, advising, catalyzing projects, singing, and learning.

CURRENT PROJECTS
