Overview

I have over ten years experience of helping organizations discover new ways to make change through products that matter.

Experience

At Plume, I redesigned the design system and led design of apps reaching 1B+ devices. I also worked with MoMA Warsaw, Grammarly, and BlackRock, and improved coordination systems with Plurality Institute and AI Objectives Institute.

Side projects

I'm always working on a side project or two. Currently, I’m developing my personal wiki, where I try to distill the most impactful knowledge. I explore cognitive biases, mental models, epistemic tools, and build small AI apps for coordination. Previously, I wrote AI Revolution 101—a thirty min essay that reached 160k readers. I also have an extensive background in contemporary art. See my art and all other side projects here.
