I makes technologies that examine the relationship between the natural landscape, our built environments, and ourselves. I'm a chief at DuKode/DuKorp and inventor of MindRider, the mind-mapping helmet system recently profiled in WIRED, New York Times, Discovery Channel, MSNBC, Fast Company, Science Channel, and many more. I teach at NYU, the Lower Eastside Girls Club, and MIT, and I hold degrees from MIT, SVA, and UMD.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, think about diversity, and learn insights from fellow journeyers in the world.

Interests

I love to bike, go to the beach, analyze about diversity issues with close friends, read, and write fiction. I have a degree in music composition and I'm slowly learning how to play the accordion for my dream of a Michael Jackson cover band.
