Nice to meet you. I'm a futurist and scenarioist. My work is largely organized around the future of global flows: the movement of people, goods, data, and capital.
I bridge technical, creative, and human dimensions to address inquiries that cross boundaries. My background spans strategic operations including the first iPhone launch, US-Mexico cross-border initiatives, cultural production, and humanitarian leadership in fragile states.
I author alternative futures scenarios that reveal possibilities and pathways. Supervisions is my ongoing program of original media-rich scenarios built by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting signals of change. Superscans are horizon scanning reports that interpret cross-sector patterns, helping organizations test assumptions and evaluate options.
My approach combines decades of hands-on experience with analytical precision and creative inquiry. My formal training includes leadership at Royal Roads University, professional foresight at University of Houston, invention and innovation at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with foundations in art, media, and design at Alberta University of the Arts, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, and Accademia Italiana.
I'm increasingly focused on space and maritime futures: areas requiring wise approaches for technological and human systems in overlooked or extreme environments.
My creative work experiments with scent, light, media, simulations, and the sacred.
