About

  • I am COO of Friends with Benefits, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with 5K+ artists, builders, and thinkers building the cultural and technical infrastructure for digitally-native communities through experimentation, coordination, and new forms of networked belonging.

  • I am an Artist Member on the board of Subvert, a new music platform cooperative.

What I Do

I translate high-level values into practical systems: governance models, workflows, decision-making structures, and operational cultures that allow collectives to function effectively and stay true to their missions.

What I’m Interested In

  • Alternative organizational models that distribute power more equitably and create genuine alignment between platforms and the communities they serve.

  • New forms of collective ownership, creative agency, and sustainable self-determination.

My Values

  1. Community Ownership over Extraction
    Building systems that serve their members, not extract from them.

  2. Transparency and Trust
    Creating clear, participatory systems where governance is visible, accountable, and co-owned.

  3. Equitable Power Distribution
    Structuring organizations to resist centralization and cultivate genuine representation.

  4. Creative and Civic Empowerment
    Using culture, art, and technology to widen access and agency.

  5. Sustainability with Integrity
    Balancing scale with values, vision with execution.
