I am a builder, explorer, and cultural architect working at the forefront of mass displacement and migration, designing solutions that reimagine what future cities can be. I believe refugee camps should function as real cities—places of opportunity, culture, and economic vitality rather than sites of stagnation. I challenge the conventional humanitarian model by centering local people to actively shape their own communities, co-create art, infrastructure, markets, and public spaces that restore dignity and agency.

ie: a sabbatical ish transition

I move through the world as an urban explorer, navigating hidden infrastructures, abandoned spaces, and wild landscapes. My love of water adventures and extreme environments mirrors my work in crisis zones; just as I adapt to shifting currents and unpredictable terrain, I immerse myself in displaced communities, responding to volatility with creativity and resourcefulness. When riding motorcycles across vast landscapes or embedding myself in refugee camps to co-design solutions, I embrace movement as a way to build relationships and gather knowledge.

oooh.. wish we could deep talk

My work is hands-on, pragmatic, and deeply personal. What I do is a fusion of urban planning and festival culture – grounded in real-world impact infused with creativity, and a belief in the power of people to shape their own environments.

this is the thing we haven’t yet tried: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

so we haven’t yet gotten to the root of problem.. we haven’t yet seen the dance dance

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..

ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
