I build things.Robotics, mechanisms, experiences, software, and intelligent systems
Since I started my career, I’ve been building an ecosystem of projects across hardware, software, performance and philosophy, all quietly leading toward the same place: Embodied AI applications. When our creations step into the world with us, the foundation we have laid matters.

Skuttlebot
Building the sci-fi sidekick.
A personal robotics experiment whose debut reached 5M+ views. People cared less about what it could do than who it was, and making that personality real is what led to Square Beret.

Push the envelope. Keep the human.
Hardware needs software; this is where I write the code that runs my systems. I build so people keep their agency, and so systems respond with something like empathy, with consequences that reflect our values.

A conceptual playground.
Theater, festival builds and interactive spaces: places to practice hard decisions about people and machines, where getting it wrong is safe.
