I’m Working on:
2024 Global Ford Fellow thinking around narrative, culture, capital, and borderless institutions.
I’m Thinking About:
How to build better infrastructure for emergent creative ecosystems and the people who run them
What it means to embrace a maker and manager schedule personally
What does it mean to build an institution to operates like a fund, ship like a publisher, and convene like a festival?
New funding models for creativity, creators, engaging AI without being commoditized with it.
