I’ve been working at the intersection of Experi - ence Design, Data Science, Analytics, Visualization, Art and Entrepreneurship since Y2K. Sometimes this takes the form of a real estate project, like tiny homes built on a community-tended farm... Or an old San Francisco house updated for modern life, restored to express its original character - ready to host family life love overflowing. Other times it takes the shape of an art installation like a bell hung in a Church robotically tolling hourly once for each civilian killed in a war zone - a place to remember, contemplate and discuss. My passion has also taken the form of a San Fran- cisco based startup, Vibrant Data - which Rakuten acquired in 2016. We built a platform for exploring data, now open sourced, anyone can use it!
