I'm a futurist focused on global flows: how people, goods, data, and capital move around the world, particularly in overlooked and emerging systems.
My background bridges technology, foresight, and creative inquiry. I spent a decade at Apple during the Steve Jobs era, working under VPs on launches including the first iPhone and Latin American expansion, as the company transformed from near-bankruptcy to global influence. This taught me how technological shifts reshape our world faster than we can sometimes adapt.
I then move to a remote part of the US-Mexico border and established my consulting practice while studying innovation at MIT. On fourteen-hour commutes through Permian Basin oilfields and on flights, I read extensively and developed my questions on observation and scale. Working between extreme environments and cutting-edge institutions shaped my questions about systems and adaptation.
During this time I completed postgraduate research on social futures in border regions and humanitarian leadership in fragile states. I also worked on projects with leading institutions, including administration of Prada Marfa, organizing operations of Marfa Dialogues Houston, a symposium on planetary futures, at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Menil Collection, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and serving on the volunteer board for the U.S. Man and the Biosphere region for the globally significant and at-risk ecosystem in Mexico and Texas.
I'm increasingly focused on space and maritime futures, areas requiring thoughtful and experimental approaches. After winning a competitive nationwide proposal, I currently serve as a community steward for the NASA Artemis Moon Tree program, developing programs that bridge space operations with knowledge transfer.
My creative practice plays with scent, light, media, and simulations. My work has been recognized with awards from SXSW Interactive, with exhibitions including The Institute for Art and Olfaction’s Biennial Scent Fair at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles.
I author Supervisions and Superscans, media-rich scenarios and horizon scanning reports for decision makers and the curious that reveal possibilities and paths for implementation. My formal training includes an MA in Leadership at Royal Roads University, Professional Foresight at University of Houston, Innovation and Invention at MIT, and foundations in art and media through Alberta University of the Arts, Banff Centre, and Accademia Italiana.
