Mindful Life, Intentional Technology.

I center wellbeing at the confluence of fast technology and slow thinking. Grounded in relational justice, my practice cultivates reciprocity, accountability, and care in our connectedness across digital and analog spaces.

Practice · Selected Work

My work moves slowly by design, because the pace of trust matters in what we create together.

Proyecto Los Lagos

Universidad de Chile

Summer rainfall in Chile's Los Lagos region has declined by nearly 50% over the past decade, contributing to a 30% reduction in crop yields and livestock capacity. For rain-dependent farming communities in the Llanquihue Province, water scarcity is already reshaping livelihoods.

As a Visiting Professor at the University of Chile, I am working alongside these communities to co-design water governance tools grounded in Responsible AI principles and guided by the people who steward them.

Editorial Workflow

Great Plains Research

As Editor of Great Plains Research, I am building an Editorial Operations System on accessible, secure technology with no barriers to entry. This self-directed initiative augments workflows that were once entirely email-based — designed to streamline operations for editors and contributors without requiring new skills or additional logins.

The goal is to enable everyone involved to focus on what matters most: co-creating a dynamic platform for dialogue, discovery, and meaningful impact. As part of this work, I developed and vetted the journal's Responsible Use of AI and Generative Tools policy, establishing a governance framework alongside the operational one.
