getting deep

I make cyborgs and then teach them to be more human. I do this through making digital products that change and enhance people's lives, followed by unsolicited advice about maintaining balance in life.Inching towards singularity — Collectively, we're becoming cyborgs with the attachment to our devices. This is the byproduct of technology. While at the same time, we're losing our humanity, which again is the byproduct of technology and a cry for balance.My purpose is balance — I build digital products and connect internet-driven devices while advocating mindfulness and disconnecting.My heart... speaks to educating others and myself. I have a passion for meta-cognition; I find myself learning about learning and thinking about how to think. Malcolm Gladwell would consider me a "maven"My mind... has a fascination with innovation. I have been leveraging technology to improve the things around me for the more significant portion of my life. The bigger the challenge, the more it piques my interest until it's not long a challenge.I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to nerd out about emerging tech and building digital products.
