I am a researcher and brand strategist specializing in making complex concepts accessible. A far-future-thinker and immediate problem-solver, since 2015 I’ve given talks on augmented intelligence, artificial intelligence, ethics of technology, and smashing the patriarchy.  Let’s talk.


 I pioneered a new aesthetic of photography called time slice. It’s been published, awarded, and exhibited internationally. (2009-2010)


 During my doctoral research I developed a new methodology for environmental data visualization based on my time slice photography, called realtime lapse. (IEEE 2013)

 Based on my doctoral work, I founded a Tokyo-based artificial intelligence start-up, Machinic Phylum Inc., building a GIS SaaS platform for sustainable energy development. Always seeking investment. (2018)

 My first film Driving at the speed of the Nordic sun premiered at Walt Disney Concert Hall Los Angeles. (2017). My next film is in development.
