About

An AI transformation executive with a parallel creative practice.

I build the structures that make AI usable inside organizations. I also build the images that shape how new machines are read in public.

Point of view

The organization and the image are both systems.

Enterprise work asks who decides, who checks and what counts as value. Creative work asks what people notice, trust and remember. I keep both practices because each sharpens the other.
