Good design is
a form of care.
I’m a designer, builder, and hospitalarian based in Saint Helena, California. I lead product design at Félix Pago and make peaceful retreats in wild places with The Wild Kindness.
I’ve spent 25+ years helping teams turn complicated problems into things people want to use. Lately, I’m exploring what happens when designers build with AI—and how to keep the result human.
