I am a specialist in Societal Asset Development using participatory methods and knowledge engineering.

I lead the Digital Society workstream with Townmaking Institute, a non-profit organization that develops local economies through reshoring, revives local cultures, and restores local biospheres. We believe this work is critical in an era where independent businesses struggle to survive in the face of globalization, local cultures rapidly get assimilated into a one-size fits all "fast-food" culture, and local biospheres get eradicated.

At the Townmaking Institute, I coordinate research, development, and implementation of culturally-sensitive digitalization for urban environments.
