About

I probe emerging technology by building with it.

Right now that means running small experiments in public — asking “what if?” about AI, interfaces, physical computing, and how people might navigate what’s coming. Some experiments turn into something worth sharing. Others teach me what doesn’t work. Both matter.

Background

My path has wound through research at the MIT Media Lab studying how people interact with robots; running Midnight Commercial, a Brooklyn design studio making physical and digital experiences for clients like Cartier and Samsung; leading technology for the new MIT Museum; and most recently as Director, Metadata and Digital Platforms at Baker Library, Harvard Business School. (Views here are my own. This site is independent of any institutional role — nothing on it represents an employer or organization I work with.)

I’m drawn to the intersection of technology and culture — not just what’s possible, but what gets baked in when we build it. What assumptions travel with the tools? What do we gain and lose when interfaces change how we think? When does technology feel human, and when does it feel hollow?

I don’t have answers. I have experiments.

I share what I find — the builds, the failures, the moments when something clicks. If you’re curious about what’s next and want to explore alongside someone who gets their hands dirty, follow along or send me a note.
