About
I’m Chief Foe of Friends With Benefits, a pioneering decentralized autonomous organization of technologists, artists, and founders accelerating the adoption of new infrastructure through culture. We work with category leaders across the stack to prototype how technology becomes lived experience.
I’m co-founder of Sonic Liberation Devices, a collective of artists and technologists that makes music technology in service of community and care. This year, we’re part of the launchpad track at New INC Y13.
I serve as Treasurer on the board of Subvert, a collectively owned music marketplace.
I’m interested in systems that balance minimalism and complexity. I enjoy projects and practices that explore constraint, especially ultralight hiking and modular synthesis.
