DemocracyOS is a civic tech platform that helps governments better understand the needs and desires of their community—without falling into the trap of slow, shallow, or biased public engagement. It collects input from a demographically representative slice of a city’s population via SMS. It then uses AI to analyze the results and highlight the most representative voices—surfacing not just the loudest opinions, but the ones that best reflect the community as a whole.

I think of DemocracyOS as a new operating layer for democracy—an upgrade that runs alongside existing institutions, not in place of them. It doesn’t require tearing down the system, but improves it with a better interface between the public and government—something both public and government can trust, adopt, and build upon.

Assemble is a tool that helps anyone understand how a citizens' assembly works, envision how it could impact their community, and finally advocate to make one a reality.

It reflects my belief in change by design: the idea that it is possible to reshape society through well-designed tools and systems that change people's behavior in ways that are inspiring, creative, and engaging.

Skyris was a music + tech startup that I co-founded with two friends toward the end of my time as a music producer. The idea was to connect music with physical objects, replacing the tangibility of records in the digital age.

Like many things, it didn't quite work out. But this project launched my deeper dive into what it meant to be a designer.
