Thinking
Framing design as cultural practice, I write about systems, speculation, frictions, and the limits of human-centred thinking.
Speculating the Ordinary
Implosion as a Critical Speculative Method
Why do many speculative projects feel like they missed the mark? Why do even clever, provocative, and visually striking projects sometimes fail to resonate? To do that, speculative design needs to look carefully at the ordinary. At the objects, routines, and relations that make up the present as a dense site of worldmaking. This is where anthropologist Joseph Dumit’s “Implosion Project” becomes valuable.

I am more than a sum of pixels.
I love facilitating conversations, understanding different points of view, and taming chaos.
