I strive for a future where people feel more alive, connected, creative, and fulfilled than ever. I work across disciplines because I believe bringing this future involves technical, psychological, moral, and aesthetic dimensions.

All of my work deals with our relationship to technology: how we shape it and how it shapes us. Technology can augment our powers, accelerate our goals, and transform our environment. But it may destroy our nervous systems in the process. While I’m fascinated by technology, the conservation and elevation of the human spirit is ultimately what matters to me.

Accordingly, I believe technology must do two things to be good: 1) it must serve a good purpose, and; 2) it must make a person better by virtue of having used it. Within this framing, I don’t see humanness as a set of limitations that technology should augment or transcend. Instead, I see humanness as a set of virtues that technology should enrich.

This way of thinking about technology and human fulfillment runs through everything I do.
