THE QUESTION
The work begins with a question: how do we build systems that deepen relationship rather than erase it?
An evolving body of work across film, technology, cultural expression, and writing.
LEARNING
Years of study in Buddhist philosophy and relationships with Indigenous teachers across the Americas have shaped how I think about reciprocity, stewardship, and long-term responsibility. These teachings are not mine to claim. They changed the questions I carry.
